Grief is the sorrow we feel when we experience a painful loss. It is a powerful emotion that touches us all at some point in our lives, but very few of us have the tools to process these feelings.
Mourning and grief are not only associated with death. We grieve over the loss of relationships, a job, material possessions, or the end of a phase of life.
Moving beyond the debilitation that grief causes can require immense courage. There is a great feeling of sadness when we lose someone or something very dear to our hearts.
The darkness that accompanies grief affects us to the core of our souls.
The soul is our unique and immortal essence which has two parts: the finite and the infinite self.
Our finite self inclusive of our personality, emotions, and ego, accepts the world as a physical reality. Since all things, people, and objects within our material world at some point die or get destroyed, the finite self perceives death as an end, which can inspire great confusion, pain, and fear.
Our infinite self knows we are immortal because our essence is energy or spirit, which never ceases to exist.
It can be difficult to cultivate such balance when we experience grief because we all mourn differently.
The weight of loss is heavy. Grief shows up through many different channels. Grief also shows up on many different levels.
To the grieving person, no matter how the grief manifests, the effects of grief are real and affect you deeply. The process of grief is unique to every individual. Healing the painful emotions requires that grief be processed.
Each soul grieves differently.
When we are in the throes of grief, it is purely about survival. There are days when you can’t sleep enough and others where you can’t sleep at all. There are days when you can’t eat and other days where you can’t stop eating. Days where you are all cried out, and whole stretches of days where you cry all the time, even in your sleep. Days where you can’t stop thinking, and days where you can’t think at all.
In the beginning, grief must be experienced and respected as primal, where our very survival hinges on being able to ebb and flow with this process of pain that is far greater than ourselves. Eventually, though, it's important to see grief for what it is on a larger level… sacred work for the soul.
When someone you love dies, or you experience a devastating loss, your physical reality is permanently altered and, your finite self must be nurtured and allowed time to mourn.
Two people can experience a similar loss however their reactions to the loss can be very different. It is this difference that often creates a greater disconnect within people. The temptation to withdraw yourself is also a very real challenge.
We all have an inner ability to overcome our challenges and conquer hurdles however, what that process looks like for every individual carries varying differences.
By grieving, we ultimately invite our own healing and soul progress, making room for new understanding, acceptance, clarity, compassion, and evolution to come in.
Grief is the sorrow we feel. Mourning is the process of navigating our grief.
Soul-centered grieving allows the infinite self to guide the finite self as it mourns and adjusts to the new reality.
When you honor your emotions, fears, and doubts as spiritual opportunities, and give your soul the chance to work through the process, you will begin to understand and integrate the gifts and evolutionary invitations and lessons the loss affords you the opportunity to understand.
As a global community, we would greatly benefit from understanding and tolerating grief in all its forms. Grief is inescapable, non-discriminating, all equalizing and an integral part of our soul work.
While grief can be excruciatingly isolating, it doesn’t have to be. Compassion for ourselves and others is the answer to overcoming. I believe it would help if in some way we can think of getting through grief as a required right of passage for the soul.

Do you feel like your loved ones are around you but you're not sure?
"Denika met me where I was at. I lost my daughter Zaria to suicide February 14, 2018. Denika allowed me to speak and most importantly heard me. We have been working together for 5 months and it has been profound. She's pulled things out of me, and gave me time to process them. Recently, my choice of words have changed. Which is powerful." -Kandice Kennedy
I learned a long time ago that our loved ones do not leave us. After their passing, they connect with us in a non-physical way.
I have had the gift of connecting with souls who have crossed over since the age of 10, but it was something that I never talked about and did not advertise being able to do.
Why?
For the same reasons that you may be afraid to admit, or talk about the fact, that you feel your loved ones around you (or even hear them speaking to you).
I WAS AFRAID.
My religious upbringing taught me to be
Afraid of ghosts...
Afraid of "demons"...
Afraid of God...
Afraid of the SuperNatural...
Afraid that what I was sensing wasn't real...
Afraid that people would call me crazy...
But deep down on the inside I just knew that what I was sensing and experiencing was real.
And then one day I decided to be bold enough to tell someone what I was sensing, and receiving, about their deceased loved one and I instantly was aware of how much relief and comfort it gave them. Accepting my gift allowed me to give people messages that would help them to embrace their life, and learn, and grow from their experiences.
So after telling Spirit that I REFUSE to be like Odamae Brown on the movie Ghost (with Whoopie Goldberg and Patrick Swayze), I agreed to utilize this gift that I have to help people heal on the other side of losing a loved one to death or having a major life experience in which they felt like they lost everything they had.

The feelings of grief, anger, sadness, and emotional pain we experience after a huge loss can be extremely challenging to process. But you need to give yourself permission to feel and process the pain rather than numbing, discounting, or avoiding it.
Un-dealt with grief and emotions are stored in your body and can become physical illnesses. To move through grief, you need to learn, and be willing, to process it.
Emotional trauma disrupts the balance of your function and triggers the beginning of complex mental and emotional physiological repair processes. Pain can linger in the emotional body resulting in impaired function of your emotions. There is a process that occurs after an emotional wounding that understanding can give you more control and courage in the healing process.
