Grieving

The pain of loss is where we taste Reality. Nothing is more real than this pain. In this very contact, we awaken and become more alive. Grief deepens the heart, but it hurts so much. I cannot say, "Be happy" or "Offer your pain to God." What would that mean? Those words would be an insult to your reality. I can only say, "Be completely true to your pain, awake to how it feels this very moment. Don't try to get rid of it. Go 100% into your pain and see what happens. See how you become alive!"
