Thoughts On Grief

I have been listening to Anderson Cooper's podcast All There Is, that he started after going through his mother's things. It's here https://www.cnn.com/audio/podcasts/all-there-is-with-anderson-cooper/episodes/8a87220e-6ee9-4a04-8f6d-af0f00fb0365

I chose this photograph for my blog, because for me, grief is like a forest with that wonderful shaft of sunlight shining through it.

I think I will make this a series about grief, because to write about all the griefs of my life at once would make me nonfunctional. But, one person at a time, I can do this.

1966. 1974. 1979. 1982. 1988. 1989. 1990. The Years Of Grief.

At nine, I lost my grandparents on Mama's side six months apart. I was pregnant six times. I have two living children. Each time I was pregnant, someone died in our family.

I can compare the loss of a parent to the loss of a child, and I think losing a child is much harder. You expect to lose your parents. Nothing, absolutely nothing, prepares you for the loss of your child.

Scientists estimate that women lose 25% of their pregnancies before they know they are pregnant. But, once you know you're pregnant, you had a 99.66% chance of having a living baby in 1990. Miscarriages happen, but they are rare. Only 10-15% end in miscarriage. It's not as rare now, which makes me very sad.

I will come back and write about my grief, but not today. Until then, thank you, Anderson Cooper. People already told you it gets easier, and it does. I still miss the loved ones in my life. I will add that grief adds a depth of understanding to our lives unattainable in any other way. It is an instant bond with a stranger, to learn that you both have grappled with loss. I think true compassion cannot come to a person without a measure of grief.

Grief Comes in Waves - no matter who you are -

Grief Comes in Waves – no matter who you are –

Listen here In this case, air waves, or in the form of a podcast. Anderson Cooper bravely takes his listeners where few mourners dare to go, by talking about it. As he struggles to go through the possessions that his family members have left behind, he found that he developed new and different relationships with his loved ones who died recently and decades ago. This is so true. As someone who…

ONE - IS ‘ALL THERE IS’

JOHN MCINTOSH

ONE ‘is’ All That Is [manifested or not] … is not the same as being ‘a-part-of’ everything, which suggests separate aspects somehow ‘strung together’. This tiny distinction recognizes that separation does NOT exist and that there ‘is’ only ONE … only YOU … only SELF. Believing this is True is NOT the same as KNOWING it. When you KNOW it, there is no ‘out there’ … everything from a soap bubble to the entire universe ‘is’ YOU - the illusory garment you wear while YOU ‘play’ in the field of dreams. This is SELF Awareness, where even the concept of Love, with its myriad of made-up descriptions, dissolves.

 Where there is no separation there are no opposites … there ‘is’ only ONE. Awareness [not merely belief in] of ONE-ness ‘is’ Freedom. Conflict of any kind is not possible despite its unending dance ‘within’ the Grand Dream. The question arises: “How do I reach this Awareness?” … and the answer is ‘you have never left it’. But still the ‘how’ of it may persist. As always, ‘where’ you place your Attention, determines ‘what’ will be your experience.

What if this is it..? The realization that all moments of your experience IS the peak of life's experience. Now is always where the power is. If you recognize this, ask yourself what it is that you love to have in your life? 💭 What baby step can you take right now to make that happen in the near future? 📝. . We live in a world where people's minds waver back and forth between the past and the future, regretting what's already gone and worrying about what's to come. A wavering mind is an unsettled mind, and its an unhappy mind. . When one takes a moment to embrace and make peace with the present moment, knowing that the present moment is all there is, all you have, and all there ever will be, peace and power will fill you and overfill to the spaces around you. Now is where the power is, so make the present moment the primary focus on your life.  . Relax, take a deep breath and own up to the present, and know this moment you are alive, still breathing and all it's well. 🌹🌱 When your mind stops wavering back-and-forth between the past and future, it finds momentary peace and beauty of life that has already been right in front of you all along. . It has been an unprecedented year for all of us. Let's refocus to back to the present moment frequently to reclaim power back for ourselves, so we can be ever infinitely stronger and better going forward 💪. . Sending you all much love and courage for the week to come🌹 ❤ @goodluckomens . . . #thisisit #recognize #powerofnow #presentmoment #beaware #awareness #notpast #notfuture #embracetheNOW #now #iam #allthereis #stopworrying #future #stopcrying #overthepast #letitgo #nowholdspower #deepbreath #youaresafe #youarealive #youarespirit #youareokay #reframeyourthinking #liveandlearn #growandlive #follow #goodluckomens #bestwishestoall #happyweekahead (at My Power Now) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD983F0nUmp/?igshid=s6zk4ueufklx
