To The Grieving

This meditation is a gentle reminder that we need not close to our grief but open to it and continue on our grief journey in the ways that are most meaningful to us. We are all grieving someone and this meditation invites listeners to sit with their grief.

Sending this to my grieving Aunt. Perfect and what she really needs…this sweet road map and life raft and permission to grieve. Thank you kindly✨

Loved that you mentioned not to distract yourself and just feel it. I needed this. 🤍

Thank you 🙏 I lost a dear Insight Timer friend last night. He lived half a world away from me and he was a dear friend to me. We “met” through our daily mindfulness practice in our group live sessions with our teacher, who had taught us about the importance of daily practice. Initially, at the beginning of Covid ( during the lockdown) we had daily live sessions. After the lockdown and life opened up more our teacher cut down the live session as life became busier, so in order to keep up our daily practice, we meditated every day at the same time as our live practice on our teacher’s day off. We weren’t a large group, and we were very dedicated to our practice ( to build it and keep it regular) for almost 5 years. He was the one who was so dedicated to our practice and everyday we’d chat ( I set up the waiting room for 5 minutes) and then meditate. We occasionally messaged each other on more personal stuff that was perhaps didn’t really fit into a group chat. Later today will be the first meditation practice without him there. I didn’t realize how close I could get to someone who was in Insight Timer and had never met live ( there was the one zoom call on the one year anniversary of our teacher’s live on Insight Timer) , our friendship was as meditation 🧘‍♀️ 🧘‍♂️ buddies ( as my teacher put it, sometimes going to the gym to workout is hard to do, and if you have a workout buddy it easier to get to the gym) ( so he was my most dedicated meditation buddy we helped each other “get to the cushion” every day, even if we didn’t feel like it. I miss him already and never expected this kind of grief to show up as it has.
Thanks again 🙏and for giving me a space to honor him and hold my grief gently.

Having lost my husband in summer 2023, I listen to this one and then. It touches on a bunch of very salient points. Thank you

Good mark, I'm resistant to the organic evolution.
