Everything in life is looking for some sort of food to sustain us. But when that food is gone what is there. The same thing happens when people die. What food is there to sustain them now that the person is gone. Many times things get thrown out because the person looking sees no value or food. They missed the food. When someone died the new food is in the memories. The objects left behind are memories that are more valuable than money. Because what you are really sifting through is memories of love. And you can not put a price on that. Love is the food for our hearts. It is somewhat intangible but it speaks to the heart. That is what we share when we come together to morn. Memories of love and it is that love that is the food that will sustain use during difficult days a head.

I have been thinking of experiences of grief presentations, and books on grief. If you just listen and don't do anything except gain knowledge about grief, you may have missed the boat. Grief is a feeling and a journey...You must do something to process it. Keeping it in your head is a bad recycle program, because all you do is think about it over and over again. You get stuck in your grief. You need to physically do something with the emotion or feelings. So look up stuff to help you process your grief: write letters, talk to people, draw, knit, talk and record your memories, get angry and chop wood or rip up paper, reorganize or paint a room. Do something to get the emotion up and out of you. The most unhealthy thing you can do is stuff in deep down within yourself. If you need help set up an appointment with me. You don't have to do it alone. iris.counseling@gmail.com.

Recently, I have been thinking about this time of year, this "season". For many it is a season of hope and holidaying. But let us not forget those who are grieving. Underneath the season is a weight of loss, buried deep inside the heart. The loss may be recent, or have occurred long ago. Grief does not know time. It rises out of nowhere, in the dark, just like the creation of rocks. Rising, slowly, painfully and hidden within. So as we journey in this season let us journey with compassion, love, understanding, gentleness. For sometimes grievers may act our in anger or silence. They may not understand where these emotions are coming from. Our job is just to journey with them not judge them. Love them where they are at.
