Good Grief - Part 4

Grief is a physical experience as well as emotional, psychological and spiritual. In this episode, the team discussed the following topics:

1) noticing the body sensations you experience during this time, especially when you are actively grieving.

2) Noticing where in your body you carry your grief, or even certain aspects of your grief. For example, someone may carry their sadness in a certain way in their neck and carry guilt in their stomach.

3) Don't try to change it, just focus your attention on it and be quiet for a few moments, this engages the natural healing process of the body.

We are wonderfully created and grief is normal and natural, thus, healing is a part of our make-up as well. Sometimes grief can be complicated by the circumstances of the death, a difficult relationship, multiple losses in a short period of time, and a number of other factors. If this is the case, ask for some professional help. Grief counseling with a specially trained professional will make a difference. You will heal, and the intensity of what you're feeling will get better. Grief has the power to transform us.
