Gathering oneself after grief - a topic which has been close to my heart in the last few months.
Since being in Barcelona I have felt a stronger sense to be more open and vulnerable with my own experiences.
My hope is that it supports anyone going through the unpredictable motions of grief, and offers a sense of connection that you are not alone.
That many of us are experiencing loss in any different forms - a loss of a life that ones was, a loved one, a home, a job, a deeply rooted professional identity…
I think this delicate topic of loss deserves more conversation, more support and more openness in an appropriate way.
My heart is with anyone who is experiencing loss in any form right now.
My hope in sharing these reflections is a reminder that
you are not alone. And in the re-shaping of life after loss, there is hope and possibility.
If you feel you need support, please reach out for it.
“The river remembers its floods. The person who has been flooded and survived is carrying, in
the changed landscape of their character, the memory of the flood. This is not the trauma,
though it may include it. It is the geological consequence of having been fully alive in a world
that does not limit its forces to those we can comfortably manage.”
- Grerley Mutibura, A Philosophy: The Way of Water
