One of the readers to this blog – Beth wrote such a lovely comment to the learning from sadness post that I just had to highlight it and share it with you. Here is a snippet that may inspire you today
“……No, grief can be met and conquered. It’s the isolation that is deadly.
My image is the Phoenix, the mythical creature who rises above the ashes of despair.
My life has dramatically changed in the last two plus years. I am in the process of redefining myself in every way.
There is joy in re-creation. There are hidden blessings once you get past the pain and anquish.
Just don’t isolate and don’t get frozen in your grief.
Soar like the Phoenix.”
Beth – that is a wonderful thought and I love the idea of joy in re-creation. I always liken it to nature…autumn and winter sees things die and wither but in Spring the natural beauty of new life begins again. Thank you so much for being brave enough to share those thoughts.
Very genuine, I found this site while researching the phoenix, due to a loss.
“Nor will I wither with grief, light & love now fill the hole in my heart,warming my soul like sunrise.”.
