When we lose a dear one we can feel as though a part of us is lost. We can feel a wrenching tearing aching and a helplessness.
And with this there is an agony of understanding of just how deeply we love. Just how much we value and appreciate.
We can honour our loved one/s by allowing the strength of how much love there is between us to carve out a well of gratitude and deep connection in our own being. Connection with them and connection with all of life.
Sharing our deep grief with our own inner being, our heart can break open and expand with the passing or loss of someone we love.
This can be part of the gift of loving them.
