Good Grief

When something bad happens, our instinct is to “move on”. Moving on can distance us from the pain. 

But doesn’t time heal all wounds? Yes, but only when you’ve acknowledged and properly grieved the loss. 

Moving on without grieving will bite you. Moving on too quickly doesn’t show respect for the loss. If you skip this step the pain won’t dissolve. It ends up staying in your body. It typically burps out in unexpected ways. Like mean words, blocked creativity, or illness. 

Grieving the loss of things you can't keep will free your mind to do what only you can.
