Dr. Madeline Polonia, Clinical Psychologist

Grief is one of the heart’s natural responses to loss. It takes courage to grieve, to honor the pain we carry. We come face to face with our genuine human vulne...rability, with helplessness and hopelessness. These are the storm clouds of the heart. We need to respect our tears. Without a wise way to grieve, we can only soldier on, armored and unfeeling. Let whatever feelings are there, pain and tears, anger and love, fear and sorrow, come as they will. The grief we carry is part of the grief of the world. Hold it gently. Let it be honored. Keep in mind that grief doesn’t just dissolve. Instead it arises in waves and gradually, with growing compassion, there comes more space around it. #grief #jackkornfield #compassion See more

Practice for today: Close your eyes, and send all the love you have inside of you to yourself, your loved ones, and to all the living beings on this planet. Feel how your love grows and becomes an infinite source of love that reaches every single living creature on this Earth.
