Guilt is a common grief experience. As we continue to heal and have our own seasons of gentle renewal, some of us feel guilty. How can we enjoy life? Does that mean we arent honoring our loved ones anymore? Does it mean were forgetting them? When we ask ourselves these questions, what do we do next? A wise woman in one of our grief education and support gatherings said the next thing she does is ask herself, Does this (question/thought) serve me? If it does not, she begins to let it go. It isnt a once and done of letting go, but the first step is having the desire. From the desire, we can set an intention. Returning to our intention helps us release a little bit more each time.
