When Your Partner Is Grieving - With Music

When Your Partner is Grieving - With Music is designed to support those who are watching loved ones go through grief, potentially at the same time as grieving yourself. Whilst this is one of the most challenging parts of being in a relationship and does require enormous patience, I'll just add a note here to say: ONLY if you feel safe. Your safety is paramount. If you feel safe but are struggling with the deep heaviness of this grief, this meditation is for you. As always, this meditation comes with and without music.
