The death of a parent is a life-shaking event for which few are prepared. This experience can wound us deeply,leaving lifetime scars. It can, if grieved fully, initiate profound unprecedent change and open our world into new perpespectives and choices. I will list 2 steps at a time. 1) Acknowledge the importance and power of this event. The death of a parent shakes the very foundation of our lives. It is natural, to feel vulernable, alone, out of control. Instead of resisting the powerful forces, activated in grief, learn strategies for moving through it stage by stage, day by day. 2)Take time each day to honor your grief. Set up a sanctuary in your home or in nature, a protected place where you can open fully to your grief for ten to twenty minutes every day. Using the sanctuary, gradually you will find a rhythm of entering the grief for a period each day, then letting it go and attending to daily tasks. The next 2 steps will be posted soon. |
