This is the most beautiful thing I have read in years. I shared it with a friend this morning and I will be keeping it for future use. You are such a gift to us all. Thank you so much for this write up. It's all true. You are the best! I was glad to be here on substack where I could read what people WANTED to talk about, I read many horrible things since 2020. I mean, there is a lot to take in. We need to read and write about that stuff so we can keep an eye on things. Meanwhile people are experiencing loss of loved ones and other complications that create more trauma for them to deal with. Like I told you, you have been the bright spark that keeps showing up in my inbox. I thank you. When I suddenly have the means, I will UPGRADE! :) I have never said that to anyone. Haha. Well this one takes the cake. I thank you for this. I know many people who suffer. I will find this exceedingly helpful moving forward. This is reverberating out into the world right now. May all those who have lost their beautiful beloved ones feel our understanding and support and care. May they feel close to their loved ones today. Thank you. I cried my face off numerous times.
Thank you so much. I have been hearing so many stories of people losing people on a daily basis - I feel like we all have - and unfortunately, I can feel it ramping up. It was a prediction my group made back in 2021, something we called "the death window" before the media started in with this "died suddenly" stuff which, as usual, is an insult to our intelligence and a means to mock us and our grief. So there's a certain amount of sacred rage attached to that too which we need to move through and process, not bypass - it's justified and valid and we need places we can speak safely and openly and channel that so we can feel it and work to transmute it. I hope this is one of them. I hope to create that in my own little pocket of Substacklandia, anyway. Sending so much love! 🙏🏻
Looking at death in a different way ,here today gone tomorrow sometimes quick sometimes slow.
Grieviing is unnecessary, the departed are free of physical limitations in transfer to a more free and blissful state.
In some cultures death is cause for celebration, after tears for the loss of a loved one.
After all there is no such thing as death anyway, we have been doing it countless times , exchanging difffent lives for the sake of experiences on the path, to become like the gods of myth and truth.
Thankyou. I had a thought, you may like the account of founding The New Age in the biography of Dr.George King, his metaphysics and sacrifices involved forming The Aetherius Society.
This is absolutely what I needed to read tonight. Lost my husband 2 1/2 years ago. I am going through every single one of these items without question. This is the most heartwarming, soothing, encouraging thing I’ve read. Thank you for sharing I’m in tears.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Kat. I'm so glad that this message found you when it did to provide you with comfort and support while you are processing, remembering, and healing. I am sending you so much love. 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so much for sharing with me this beautiful, heartfelt tribute. I am so sorry for your loss. I love how you are focused on all of the good memories. There is so much strength in that, even when it's difficult. Sending you so much love. 🙏🏻💜
Loss is change -- which I think a lot of people struggle with. Like you said, when you lose someone you rely on, it makes it that much harder to process and move forward. But what you’re really doing is changing and growing. Learning to live without that person. Doesn’t make it easy, just what it is. Lost my mom & sister in a car accident 16 years ago, I get it. I finally feel like I’m coming to terms with it and am starting to see it from a big picture perspective. Allowing myself to see that these things happen all the time and I wasn’t singled out by the universe to go through this just to spite me 😅no longer holding onto the “why me” mentality has allowed me to make massive improvements.
That's a great outlet to seek out. Very cleansing, healing, and cathartic, but also, others need help to process and you'll be giving them the strength to do so as well when they read your words. Keep going, keep talking, keep processing. ❤️
This list is beyond incredible. In the past few years I have become accustomed to loss, and every one of these thoughts and practices have saved me, gotten me through.
One thing I discovered in my journey is that Kübler-Ross's stages are the five stages of dying (Thank you Faith Harper). Grief is more active than passive. We have to be present with it. This list is an excellent guide! 👏🙏🏻
I can literally feel this article in my body. I have to read it in chunks bc this hits at the core. Thank you for writing to it and especially standing up for the sacred process and right to grieving 😭🙏
Beautifully said. Thank you. I’m in my second year of grieving for my soulmate. If it was not for my animals I would not get up every day.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending you so much love!

I found my Father dead in his bed years ago. I still miss him.
I'm so sorry, Noah. That is such a difficult experience to have. I'm sending you love and healing. 🙏🏻
Mahalo. I finally got some new glasses so that's something :)
What an amazing discourse on grieving.

I love that you are experiencing relationships with loss in a healthy way that celebrates your loved ones and their energies. That is so important. 🙏🏻

I posted my story yesterday..ten year mark has been tough. If you have time, let me know what you think. I like feedback and critique...about my writing, about how to share raw and vulnerable. Subscribing... nice to find you here! https://open.substack.com/pub/joanstommen/p/what-i-wish-i-could-tell-you?r=18hndm&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

So helpful and beautiful, Demi. Thank you.
I added it to one of my websites - Glossary page, scroll down to G for Grieving - https://effectivecareinfo1.godaddysites.com/glossary-%26-resources
Thank you for sharing this - and please absolutely feel free to give this to anyone who needs it. Sending my love.
I am in a time of deep grief. This helps. Thank you.
Sending you love and healing. 🙏🏻
Thank you. I’m just starting to write about because I need an outlet
That's a great outlet to seek out. Very cleansing, healing, and cathartic, but also, others need help to process and you'll be giving them the strength to do so as well when they read your words. Keep going, keep talking, keep processing. ❤️
Yes, absolutely! I didn’t think I’d survive this loss but somehow, miraculously, I have. Thanks for the encouragement. 🥰
You have, and you will, and you will help others to survive their losses as well. Sending you so much love and strength!! 🥰
This is beautiful. I’m grieving the loss of my 20 year old son. Thank you.
I am so sorry for your loss. Sending love and healing to you. ❤️
