“How can I help?” you ask when another is hurting. Just love them. You do not need to fix anything. It is the human mindset that says that only good feelings are valid. Of course suffering is not pleasant, but if it is happening, there is a reason. If feelings are not processed, they fester and lead to further suffering. Suffering arises for a reason. Love it. Embrace it. Mine it for the gold it offers the soul’s evolution, and then release it. It is both the rejection and the clinging that cause challenges. What if all emotions are allowed to surface and flow as they will? Why then, you would discover the peace that lies beneath all that arises. You are so very loved. Just be there for yourself and for others with all of your love. Yes, just be.
This is so Valuable. Thank YOU for these messages filled with Love and wisdom.
They’re important reminders!
This is the first time I have looked at the Daily Way, and the first post I came across is the perfect message for me right now. I just managed to allow a lot of blocked grief to the surface a few minutes ago, while my husband hugged me and let me cry and cry. The grief had gotten stuck on the expectation that “The first year after a loss is the hardest,” and the attached implication that after a year, it gets easier. It has gotten “easier,” but hello, it’s still there, and it still needs an outlet. Of course.
Even though I am a big believer in the importance of letting emotions surface and release, I found that after extended grief, it got hard to just allow. I’ve had times when I felt I just couldn’t face it anymore, and resistance started showing up. Thank you for this encouragement.
So glad the words were helpful, Dawn. Sending you much love.
