Grief and a Greenhouse

Grief is a gateway that none of us want and every one of us will find ourselves moving through. The me who received the greenhouse I am about to tell you the story of had no idea what was ahead of her. This is a personal one for me that I hope offers you some insights and reflections. We are never really taught about the mind body connection and its often only when something feels like it's not working or falling apart that we begin to learn. We are also not taught how to navigate the fertile void, the moments when it feels like nothing is happening or that everything is falling apart. We are conditioned to fix, to hold on, to fight and to force. We are not invited to let go, to allow the parts of ourselves to die, to witness and honour our grief as we let go of people, dreams seasons of life and who we once were. To those who find themselves in this gateway right now, I know the fertile void well and I can support you to navigate this and access all that is waiting for you on the other side.
