Gratitude can become part of this practice and not as a way of bypassing grief or forcing ourselves to be positive, but as a way of remembering that sorrow is not the whole of our experience. Even while grieving, beauty, love, connection, possibility, and goodness can still exist.
Healing asks us to make room for both.
Feel what needs to be felt.
Acknowledge what has been lost.
Discover what you are believing.
Release what no longer serves you.
Remember what remains true.
