LIVING THROUGH GRIEF.

Many of us in one part of our lives or another, have been through some form of grieving. It may be a loved one who has passed on suddenly, or the suffering of a close friend.
But there are other more subtle forms of grief that you may be going through without being aware that you are in the grieving stage in your life. This may be experienced as loss of friendship, loss of job, loss of loyalty or loss of control.

LOSS OF FRIENDSHIP
Personally, this is one of the hardest to move through. Other than the death of a loved one, loss of friendship remains raw for a very long time due to the person or persons who remain still in your life in some form.

The symptoms you may suffer are similar to that of the death of a loved one; sleeplessness, lack of appetite, anger, confusion, but also disillusionment, feelings of betrayal and slight paranoia.

You may go through serious bouts of depression and anger and believe it or not, these are all good emotions. You must allow yourself to feel them fully and then let them go'.
Grieving allows the body to move through the anger and pain at a healthy emotional level.

Firstly, it allows you to re-discover that you are a deeply sensitive human-being. Secondly, it allows the body to flow through its natural stream of emotions and thirdly, it allows you to break down the boundaries and re-adjust your life or lifestyle.

Like that of a steady summer rainstorm, allow the feelings of grief to flow and sweep through you.
Try not to build boundaries and walls around the emotions like a huge black umbrella, but allow the waves of emotion to be and flow through their natural cycle.
Remaining strong and in control is an illusion, for being strong is recognising the body's resourcefulness of adaptability and power. You will find that once you flow through the emotions, the feeling of being in control changes its meaning to a letting go of anger and resentment and coming around full circle to the energy of unconditional love of oneself.
We are emotional beings. Every moment of our lives, we are re-evaluating our emotions and feelings in one form or another. Allowing ourselves to move deep inside of our emotions, to feel then to let go, is the strongest and healthiest way to cope with the grieving process.

The energy of letting go is one of true Discipline and Mastership.

In the act of letting go, you must allow yourself to feel every emotion as it occurs, otherwise blockages or boundaries,
