Too much seems to be changing right now. I am filled with fears for the future and a profound sense of loss. I am grieving. I had thought that I was alone in my feelings until I started attending the Spiritual Grounding task force meetings. Listening to others, I felt inspired to see if I could try to understand for myself and for others what good grief looks like.
Good grief sounds like a contradiction in terms.
Nevertheless, truly I tell you such a thing exists. Some pundit once said that the only thing that is constant is change. Grief enables us to respond to change in a way that affirms life. Grief is a natural process that restores our joy and energy in the face of loss. This is what we profess to believe when we claim ourselves to be people of the resurrection.
