When we experience something that causes us to feel shock and sadness, we may
feel the urge to withdraw from life. It may seem like remaining withdrawn
will keep us protected from the world, but during these times it is important
to reach out to those trusted and precious people who care about us the most.
Even with our best information and reasoning, we never know when someone
else's experience or perspective can give us additional information that we
need. The universe speaks to us through many channels, and when we open
ourselves up to receive its messages, we also receive nurturing care from a
loving partner in life's journey.
Grief is part of the human experience, and sharing our vulnerability is what
creates truly close bonds in our relationships. Opening ourselves up in this
way gets to the core of our being, past all of our defenses and prejudices.
When life seems to crack the outer shell of our world, we are both raw and
fresh at the same time. It is then that we discover who is truly willing to
walk with us through life. We also see that some of those sent to us may not
be the ones we expected to see. Regardless, we learn to trust in the
universe, in others, in our own strength and resilience, and in the wisdom of
life itself.
Sharing grief allows us to ease our burden by letting someone else help carry
it. This helps us process our own inner thoughts and feelings through the
filter of a trusted and beloved someone. We may feel guilty or selfish, as if
we are unloading on someone who has their own challenges. Although, if we
think about it, we know we would do the same for them, and their protests
would seem pointless. Remember that not sharing feelings with others denies
them the opportunity to feel. We may be the messenger sent by the universe
for their benefit, and it is on this mission that we have been sent. By
sharing our hopes and fears, joys and pains with another person, we accept
the universe's gifts of wisdom and loving care.
