Grief

Grief can enter our lives in sudden and unexpected ways. But if we don't validate that emotion when it arises, we can feel mired in our pain. Here's a short break to help turn towards acceptance and relief.

Transcript

Grief can take many forms and it only takes a moment for a profound loss to happen to us.

We cannot control everything that happens to us.

Loss comes in sizes big and small,

But the sorrow you feel is always real and valid.

Take this moment to focus your energy and honor those feelings.

Find a comfortable place to sit and close your eyes.

Now follow your natural breath in and out.

With each breath in,

Think to yourself,

Grief is a natural emotion.

With the out-breath,

Tell yourself,

It's okay for me to feel this way.

Keep following the breath in and out.

Grief is a natural emotion.

It's okay for me to feel this way.

We make room for these difficult feelings because grief naturally arises in life.

Just like everything,

Things change.

It is natural to feel loss and fear in the face of changing circumstances.

In this present moment,

Even when you feel you're alone,

Know that you are loved and care for.

Grief is a natural emotion.

It's okay for me to feel this way.
