When we have the courage to be present and undefended in the midst of our loved ones’ anguish and the helplessness it generates in us, a dark and shimmering beauty emerges.

Death and trauma and loss of all sorts force you to face the existential truths of mortality, randomness, and the essential lack of control you have over many life events. Having the veil of the protective illusion of control ripped from your eyes can leave you feeling alone, small, and fragile

Yes lonliness is painful. Yet, if the emotion of loneliness is expressed and understood, the pain might be intense and long-lasting, but health problems don’t arise. It’s when we’re left alone with loneliness that problems arise. That is, when no one understands our loneliness.

If it is realistic, you can determine if your fear informs and warrants a response that will get you out of danger (like social distancing etc.), or if your fear simply needs you or someone else to reassure you that you will figure out a way to be okay, even if the worst happens.

Figure out if your loss is causing you to feel emotions like anger or sadness. Journaling or spending a few minutes a day walking or meditating can help you put a name to your feelings, and figure out what to do with them. #processingemotions #anger #sadness #journal #nature
