I just heard the term yesterday in an sweet book I am reading ” Saying Good bye to your Angel Animals”. Organic grieving means giving yourself permission to mourn loss in ways that originate from your essence, your spirit, your unique self. Organic grieving emanates from the core of your being, where the essence of what you honestly feel and believe about life and death resides.”
I have come to see that my grief process is making a new me. I am no longer the woman I was March 10, 2011, the day before my beloved died. I don’t quite know who I am and that is just fine. I am letting grief have all its life within me. It is not a straight road to “feeling all better”. In fact, I think there will always be a part of me that feels this loss and I am okay with that too.
I want anyone who is reading this- to know – however you grief is GOOD. Just do it…Don’t hide or run from it..Don’t care what people around you think , say, or judge about what you are doing in the midst of your loss. Just be totally you- you deserve the full allowance of your true expression. This goes for any loss- relationship, animal, parent, job, home….If you worry about what others think of you- then your heart will push aside the grief, and I believe if this happens again and again- a part of us dies.
So when you are sad, grieving, missing, or longing- BE ALL OF IT. Let it in and let it out to me. Grieving breaks us wide open, shatters our illusions, and perhaps leaves us with a purity of heart that was waiting to be revealed.
Blessings and Love to you!
