When we experience moments where our sense of control is uprooted and our ability to cling to logic is weakened, we are returned to the principles of nature:

Without the interdependence of species, there is an inability to thrive and demonstrate resilience amidst ever-changing conditions. The intricate design of Earth’s survival is parallel to our relation with one another–and the experience of grief has a remarkable ability to dissolve the barriers we place between not only each other, but between the ecosystems which sustain us, too.

The present circumstances we exist in do not have to be definitive markers of defeat, but can be beacons. Ones that reveal our most devastating wounds and simultaneously, our inherent capacity to reshape the current path beyond what we can even imagine.

Grief is absent of order, yet is a compass back to the core of our humanity. And when we allow ourselves to fully feel, we see the truest expression of authenticity that connects us.

What if the grief we are experiencing–the suffering we are woven into by simply being human, is the precipice of our return? One beyond fabricated realities of progress and instead, into authentic expressions of how nature exists in a constant state of evolution.

The living, breathing organism beneath our feet reminds us that to tend to the environment which sustains us, we must care for ourselves, but to transform alongside the environment which sustains us, we must care for each other.

now that’s the way!!!

I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.

disenfranchised grief

i’m not sure if i’ve posted about that before

have you ever experienced it

who decides who feels grief

who decides what you can feel grief about

how long should you feel grief

it can become quite a problem and be very confusing

if you feel sad or shocked or numb or angry about losing something and others either don’t recognise that, allow it or support you

can you grief for something you never had
for dreams unfulfilled
for a life that turned out differently to how you wished it had
for people you were separated from

we do strange things in this world - in this society

we expect people to all behave the same way - to feel the same way

many years ago when i learned there was a term - disenfranchised grief - i felt relieved that at least some people understand that experience

blessings to all those who suffer in silence, who weep in private, who cry deep inside, who suffer the secondary pain of feeling disenfranchised at a time when they need to be held, included - to heal through connection and community
