Blessing For Grief

If you are grieving a death, this is for you. Your loss may be recent or very old, complex or more simple - all grief counts. We can often feel completely isolated in our grief and think that no one understands what we are going through. This short and spoken blessing, accompanied by music, may bring you comfort that you are truly seen and that your grief is understood by the many who walk this path with you. You are not alone, even if it often feels like it.

Transcript

As you survey the fragments of a life cut too short,

May you feel truly seen and know that there are many of us who bear witness to your devastation.

May you gift yourself the freedom to grieve however you want,

Wisely protecting yourself from those who are unhelpful and staying softly open to those who can hold you steady.

May you trust the wisdom of your beautiful body to guide you,

It has felt it all.

Listening and observing,

Feeling every emotion move through you,

Understanding so clearly that you become able to hold every part of you.

May you whisper the kindest words to yourself whenever you remember.

Look after your precious heart,

It is your truth and your guide.

May you believe that you have a life worth living and that you are truly seen.

May you be seen and know that there are many of us who bear witness to your devastation.

Beautiful and soothing and just what I needed right now. Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you! I suffer from prolonged grief disorder and PTSD, much of which has been caused by being present to help dying people and pets that I love so very much... This helped me tonight, on what would have been my mom's 90th birthday. 🙏🙏❤️❤️

This meditation really touched my heart today. It’s my mom’s birthday, and it’s been two years since she passed. I’m grateful for the peace it brought me.

Much gratitude Alice. I lost my beautiful daughter 3 years ago and your wonderful blessing is exactly what I needed today 🙏🏼💜

Lovely words that mean something for a griever, not platitudes. Thank you

A beautiful comforting and compassionate meditation. Every word was heartfelt-
gently soothing and supportive, healing too!
Being with ‘supportive loved ones’ has truly helped in this journey.
The accompanying music played a huge role to that said soothing.
Thank you so much for this beautiful meditation.
Bright blessings and Love 🙏🏽💚✨✨💚

A few days ago my fiance unexpected fell ill and died.

I came here today for my TM timer but thought, why not see what Insight Timer has to share about grief.

The selection offered was overwhelming so I just scrolled scanning the briefest ones until yours somehow beckoned me.

I couldn't have made a better choice. I believe he was guiding me, helping me to find some relief.

Your kind loving words spoke directly to my experience and also seemed to reference the outpouring of love from our international community of friends elsewhere on social media.

Thankfully, I've only experienced the most loving support I could hope for - and more.

Now I count this beautiful little meditation among my cherished resources helping me to return to my innate wholeness and to move forward again as and when I'm ready.

Thank you so much for the gift/s you're brining into our world through works like this.

That was very comforting. Thank you.

That is beautiful, thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This is a gift because it comes from a knower. It even mentions distancing from harmful persons, and believing life can still be worthwhile. Thank you
