Nature of Grief

Something I took out of the book "A severe Mercy" that I read last year and found in my journal entries:

Nature of grief: Each memory calls forth warm living reality once, it is followed by another little death and the tears.

According to this I should be able to work through the single memories and release their one-time living reality; live through that little death and it’s tears. By this, one by one those memories would loose their power, so I no longer would have to fear them.

I started today, and got through some of them. It wasn't easy to really stay in those memories and not push them away too quickly in order to stop it's pain. But I think I did stay in at least a few of them and I hope it works and helps me to grieve in a healthy way.

Besides that I had a really good day. Actually enjoyed time in Nature and with friends.
