This is what grief is.
A hole ripped through the very fabric of your being.
The hole eventually heals along the jagged edges that remain. It may even shrink in size.
But that hole will always be there.
A piece of you always missing. For where there is deep grief, there was great
love.
Don’t be ashamed of your grief.
Don’t judge it.
Don’t suppress it.
Don’t rush it.
Rather, acknowledge it.
Lean into it.
Listen to it.
Feel it.
Sit with it.
Sit with the pain. And remember the love.
This is where the healing will begin.
It is hard to talk about negative feelings anger, disgust, fear, but the feelings I find most
difficult to stomach are grief and sadness. The experience of emotions is relative to each
person. These feelings manifest themselves in many forms, each with unique meaning to
individual people. Sometimes these feelings are impossible to describe in words alone, so we rely on art to convey these feelings for us. Artist
Albert Gyorgy has captured the raw emptiness that sadness can create in one simple sculpture
called, “Melancholy.”
