“Sometimes the end is sudden
and you are left without closure,
heartbroken and unprepared
for such a sharp change
for a while, you live with a mind
that is half here and half full of regret,
wondering, “what if?”
for a while, your heart only feels grief
and your mind only sees gray
and then life starts to call you back
into its arena of possibility;
it reminds you that all is not lost
and that even though a chapter ended,
there is still a longer story to be told
with time and intention,
wounds lose their heaviness,
healing fills the tough parts of your being,
and you awaken the light of love within yourself
in time, you will return fully into the precious now with a heart that feels refreshed and ready to move forward”

Comforting Thought: Holding Space
“In special moments, we can take turns deeply seeing one another. here we move beyond having an exchange into holding space while someone reveals their truth. this is a higher level of listening that involves acting as a compassionate audience for another person without interrupting or adding our own perspective. when we hold space for one another, hearts become more open, truth is ready to be revealed, and old tension comes to the surface so that it can be seen and held, not just by the speaker, but also the listener. this collective honoring of each other’s truth can be incredibly healing.”
Comforting Thought: Process Your Wounds
“we often hand our tension over to others without understanding that it wasn’t ours to begin with. someone passed it to us, and so we pass it to the next person, and they to the next, until it lands in the hands of someone with the tools to process it and let it go. the more of us who are open to inner work, the more points there will be in the giant web of humanity where harm will not be able to spread.”
