The Grief in Release

We often celebrate removing people, situations, relocating from unhealthy spaces and attachments, because of course we reach a point where the relationship, situation or environment no longer serves us, has run its course, or space needs to be taken in order to actually get better - to grow and to learn…… but no one talks about the grief that also resides in that release.

A-lot of times, we hold onto people because of familiarity, longevity

because they’ve seen us through our most traumatic transitions and drastic changes

because of time….. time creates bonds thats can never be replaced (you just can’t get that time back)

There is grief that comes with knowing you wont speak to someone again, a living being

there is a level of grief that comes with knowing that you have to detach yourself from someone you’ve grown accustomed to having around

The same way joy resides in the release… so does grief

is letting go sometimes necessary, yes - does that make letting go any easier - absolutely NOT.

Our ego and pride allows for that false idea of strength to shine through the obvious feelings that exist… truly… deep down

The same we may feel the joy, we may feel the peace, in the release

The grief still exist..

Don’t stop yourself from feeling the grief too.

Write letters to let go, sometimes we may not be able to say all we need to say in moments of release, because sometimes the release happens quicker than our hearts and minds are able to comprehend, that doesn’t stop a level of expression that needs to happen.

Write it out, cry it out, pray it out. Don’t pretend the grief doesn’t exist.
