Happy Thanks~Grieving

Dear most endearing soul Sara,  Here we are in America, at Thanks~Giving time, and in the world all-ways giving thanks. I think of it as Thanks~Grieving too. It might seem odd to give thanks for grieving, yet I believe it is generative to be gratefull for the grieving as much as we acknowledge all the love that is woven through it. My deeper experiences with grieving started with the death of my beloved former fiancé John in 2016, and a book I began writing with the working title of “Deeply Grieving, Wildly Living.” I believe we are made to do both together, like bird wings. We are all grieving in one or more ways, for a myriad of losses. It is not only death that calls for grieving. I wish that grieving were more ordinarily spoken of, and that we would support ourselves and others in openly grieving, while also giving all thanks for all we have. You can do this by speaking of and acknowledging others grieving, and grieve your own losses as you move through life. The naming of, and the awareness of grieving, will shapeshift the subject forward for all to benefit from. Grieving gathers helpers and angels too. I believe and know from experience, that angels are in attendance whether we believe in them or not.   I want to recognize the many many people who have been, or are going through challenging times, who feel confused, alone, lost, or scared in the world today- which is all of us at one time or another. I want to share my love and transcendent wishes for people to be able to also deeply grieve while living and loving. Here’s a VERY partial list of my recipients.
