On the subject and experience of Grief:

What’s more, know our sincerity, openness and intent to fill with the qualities and truths of God are enough. Keep on not in a demanding way, in letting ourselves be spiritually minded and hold the space of sacredness for another and others. They will feel the holy aura and atmosphere.

Hence, we may be called to hold the holy space for grief to unfold and be processed by ourselves, another or a group. We realize grief is a process. I know personally when I had my heart set on a certain candidate or person running for a public office and they did not win, I would literally grieve. I would go through a grieving process.

Certainly, the length for grieving is an individual amount of time different with each person. It is important to encourage others and oneself, however, to agree with the process of grief and feel the sadness.

This is how we heal emotionally from the anxiety and distress of losing something or someone dear. While we ask for and create a circle of supportive and loving friends, relatives and when needed professionals.

With assurance, we can understand the compassion and empathy toward another is felt by them. Our consciousness of caring combined with a spirit-filled demeanor is lifting and transformative to those in grief. There is a receptivity in a grievous person, naturally open to the high and healing vibrations of light, truth, and prayer. 

Too, know within ourselves and let others know there are gifts (blessings) and compensations in loss and periods of grieving. It is the grace of God coming through the loss experience.

One more aspect of grief is to take care of oneself if and when we are grieving. Get sleep, eat nutritious food and take time to contemplate things, life and be with God in a sunset or on a walk. Feel the Divine loving presence with you. In fact we know the divine presence and power is within us and with us forever and at all times and places.

We are to accept our own and the grief of others. In our acceptance and cooperation with the grieving in us or another, we are healed and go forward better than we were. Amen.
