08-30 -23 is National Grief Awareness Day

08-30 -23 is National Grief Awareness Day

I was about to include that National Grief Awareness Day & it being the next Happiness Meeting, though while the ideas Happiness & Grief don’t seem to fit in the same image … Happiness Meetings are not about being happy all of the time ,

Happiness Meetings

are about the meaning we find in life regardless of circumstances and … yes … finding more happy is generally the byproduct. It has been for

me anyway .

Affirmations & Quotes 

Quote: "Emotional discomfort, when accepted, rises, crests and falls in a series of waves. Each wave washes a part of us away and deposits treasures we never imagined. Out goes naivete, in comes wisdom; out goes anger, in comes discernment; out goes despair, in comes kindness. No one would call it easy, but the rhythm of emotional pain that we learn to tolerate is natural, constructive and expansive... The pain leaves you healthier than it found you." ~ Martha Beck

Affirmation:

My present optimistic consciousness and my own happy energy are my greatest success I AM INTUITIVE & TRUST THAT INNER VOICE WHICH COMFORTABLY SUPPORTS ME

True discernment means

not only distinguishing

the right from the wrong;

it means distinguishing

the primary from the secondary,

the essential from the indifferent,

and the permanent from the transient.

And, yes, it means distinguishing between the good and the better, and even between the better and the best.

~ Sinclair B. Ferguson

"Love always seeks for betterment,

for ways of making life more workable,

joyful,

whole,

and beautiful.

Love examines every option available to bring about an improvement in life.

This kind of discernment is an act of decency,

not an act of judgment.

Rigid philosophies of judgment will seek to establish structure as a substitute for decency, control as a substitute for trust,

and the mind as a substitute for higher awareness."

~ Glenda Green

Gentle Empowerment

Thank you for standing up and bringing this topic.

Grief is such a massive, complex subject and we are all touched by it, either directly or indirectly. We have been and are still profoundly impacted by the enormity and the lifetime journey that grief bestows upon us. 

We may be frail and even unwilling - in the beginning of our journey, but most likely we will come to an understanding about the many "gifts" that alter our understanding of grief and loss, and how we come into something that we may not recognize - as grief moves and handles us and transforms us and our world so profoundly...

We are touched by each other in many different ways. Some of those ways are positive and you hear people say, "You are one in a million," "You changed my life forever..." 

We are all who we are today because of others who have left a lasting impression on us, not just our lives, but on who we are.

The greater the loss, the greater the pain...

Opening up a discussion on grief is like learning to surf in the middle of a tsunami.

I cannot think of a more powerful and a healing place than to have this discussion in a Happiness meeting.

Happiness meetings are a safe place where incredible work, incredible healing can start to be unfolded, uncollapsed and new paths, new perceptions can generate new levels of workability.

It's never too late to heal - or grow in peace and in understanding.

Our growth and understanding is perpetual...

We never stop growing, we never stop processing...

Like mining and excavating for diamonds... and finding not just the raw and uncut splendor, but becoming a part of the path whose entirety then becomes multi generational.

That once raw, uncut splendor applies to all who experience grief and loss.

Our truth and our legacy definitely gets passed down and for some, their legacy and their love lives on in eternity.

Thank you for pouring so much love, light, faith, hope and inner courage into this amazing thread.

I love and respect all that you have said, done and created.

Your affirmations are powerful, on point and they spark new levels of openness, growth and transformation.

I want to acknowledge you. I want to acknowledge all that you have opened up in this meeting. 

This is one very wonderful benefit of your sharing -- it that this teaches me and it teaches other so that our awareness of the work and the numerous challenges of bereavement can be understood.

You are teaching us with your wisdom.

Two of your numerous strong suits are your generous compassion and nonjudgemental listening. Your second strong suit is your inexhaustible commitment to a deep, transformative, immersive reservoir of positivity.

You are courageous and even fierce when it comes to work of self love and self care.

Your determination and all that you stand for has been a source of light and illumination for all in our mindful community.

The unconventional way that some of the most transformative Happiness meetings have worked is completely non-linear. The best way to yield results is to participate in meetings and work on yourself, develop new skills in the domain of self care, self love, acceptance and belonging.

Growth cannot be controlled. Healing cannot be rushed. Many times, in my experience, it seems like there are several layers to loss. Its almost as if you have to deeply release everything - including long standing relationships - in order to start over...  and starting over for the 3rd, 4th or 18th time...  

Grief is an intensive personal process that requires time and the growth of understanding. Understanding is a byproduct of a personal journey that changes your sense of everything that you thought you knew about yourself without previously needing to identify or define it , but only assumed to understand it or be otherwise safe with the outter shell of its existence. 

"Leave no stone unturned." Indeed...
