Grief- A Pure Expression of Love
For now, I am going to post some recent notes I made on Facebook:
----
Grief is neither a disorder nor a healing process: it is a sign of health itself, a whole and natural gesture of love. Nor must we see grief as a step towards something better. No matter how much it hurts--and it may be the greatest pain in life--grief can be an end in itself, a pure expression of love--Gerald May, M.D.
Each week in my Psychology of Grief class, I am SO much more amazed. Amazed how different grief is for everyone.
This will always stick with me
"Everyone who experiences love or who forms an attachment to another runs the risk of losing the loved person or object and suffering the consequences of loss. If so, then "to grieve is to pay ransom to love".Everyone will experience some kind of grief when the attachment with someone ends. It is a natural, unstoppable experience. Each person's grief is unique and therefore, we can't fully give a "definition" of it. Nor can we judge others of it. Time and emotion are tied with personal experiences that result in how we grieve and cope with a loss.

Feeling: 
I have faith. Faith in our wondrous capacity for hope and good, love & trust, healing & forgiveness. Faith in the blessing of our infinite ability to wonder, pray, feel & think. I have faith. Faith in the infinite possibilities of the human spirit.- Starbucks Cup
"Don't you Judge Me. Don't you dare. One day I know I'll sit before a just God. Will you be there? Or will your false, your short sighted views hold you back from real truth? All your views leave you hostage, from love, from the real truth. Held Hostage! Don't point your finger like I'm the fake, You let me in this room-that was your first mistake. You've got nothing. It's okay. I was there once so don't point the finger like I'm the fake- you let us in and that was your last mistake. Follow Me. It might be your last "mistake" -Blame it on the Holy Rollers
