What is the price we pay if we don’t fully grieve a loved one’s death?
To be alive is to have losses. However most of us shrink from loss, thinking that if we just keep busy we can close our hearts a little to protect ourselves from loss. It is our ungrieved losses that take a toll on our hearts and deaden us. We pay a price in terms of our happiness, health, well-being. But there are tools or grieving to help us so we can live our lives fully. We succumb to grief so that we can fully live- -grief wakes us up to life, to this precious moment, to love, to joy and to the silence at the core of each being.
