Let's meditate. Healing after loss takes time. I have found these meditations to facilitate the journey. I hope they will help you, too.
We cannot re-create this world…We cannot even, truly, re-create ourselves. Only our behavior can we re-create, or create anew. ~Alice Walker
Healing After Loss meditations by Martha Whitmore Hickman
All winter, in many parts of the country, the earth has lain brown and barren-or covered with chilling snow.
But beneath that apparently lifeless earth the roots of plants have maintained themselves in a necessary hibernation. Then, come spring, year after year, the earth comes to life again, and blooms with beauty and nurturance.
Maybe this can be a model of trust for us in these new green months of early summer-that the season of depression and sorrow will, in time, give way to a renewed love of life and appreciation for its gifts-including the gift of the life and the legacy of the one we have loved.
