GRIEF - Give Yourself Permission To Mourn - coming to terms with DEATH

Thank you Justine & Michael 💚

The global coronavirus pandemic has created a new reality, marked for many, by grief. So many aspects of life are changing at such a rapid pace, and without warning or time to prepare. I recently heard the situation described as a 'tsunami of loss'. Not only are we mourning the loss of life, but also the loss of normality and the fear of financial instability and loneliness. It has forced us to process both individual and collective grief in the face of an uncertain future.

Give yourself permission to mourn. Treat yourself and others with kindness during this difficult time. And when we emerge on the other side of this storm, we will have changed. We will remember to see the beauty!

A huge thank you to these guys, who so generously gave of their to time to help with language translations:

My 24-year-old daughter, my only child, died in 2003. At first I didn't think I would be able to go on because I could not imagine life without her. But life did go on and I too was able to find a measure of happiness in spite of my loss and that was primarily because I truly believe with all my heart that death is only a temporary Interruption of life based on the Bible promise found at John chapter 5 verses 28 and 29 which states> "... the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life..." I look forward to the day when Jazmin and I will be reunited and we will be able to pick up where we left off!

18months into being a widow and this week grief came crashing in and swamped me. I thought I had coped with my 79 year old husband's sudden death but no. Grief is ongoing. Dark thoughts and loneliness became too much. Thanks to my wonderful daughter I could talk about it. Finding this episode today has given me peace and I thank all of you so much. Bless you and the work you do.🙏

In Raja Yoga we know death is not the end & i'm okay with Transitioning, i thought to myself, i've got this. When i looked after both Parents, Dad was 91 when he passed & Mum was 89, Mum died first & you know your walking them home BUT i wasn't at all prepared for the suffering that cancer brings & the powerlessness i felt when i couldn't make things more comfortable for my frail Parents. It's been four years since Mum passed & just over two years since Dad passed on, i made it to my Mum's funeral, arranged it & right at the door of the church, i had a terrible panic attack but i still had my Dad. There's a poem by Robert Frost, written in 1922 & the part of the poem i remember most was this.. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep ( I had to care for Dad ). I never made it to my Father's funeral, i was driving to go to a viewing at the funeral house, when my Soul sank into a bottomless abyss, i could only stop in the middle of the road & put hazard lights on. I was in hospital for a few weeks, missed my Dad's fare thee well. "Broken Heart Syndrome". I was content that they were together now but the suffering has stayed with me. I am still learning to walk again, but only using oxygen when needed, it was 24/7, i was piecing together a smashed windscreen but that's impossible, now i have replaced it & driving me very cautiously. This video touched my heart & i cried. Sorry this was long comment 🙏

"giref does not go away, but you grow around it". That reminds me of trees, if they lose a peace, a branch is cut or broken, they will heal it with growing around the wound.
Sad but so important video. Thank you.

I lost my 34 year daughter this April, thank you for this video. My grief is drowning me and I don’t see things beautifully now. I’m caught in the mist of darkness.

I read somewhere that grief is the love we have for someone that has nowhere to go anymore .. I found this beautiful and true ❤️🙏🏻❤️

My son died when he was eight and a small piece of my heart died. You move through and grow in spite of grief you find joy and love despite Pain. My son would not want it any other way. Grief ebbs and flows... Life continue.❣️

I learnt so much from this incredibly beautiful film. As I sit here in splendid isolation at a camp site in remote Australia, I glance down at my faithful companion, Tim my dog and feel so blessed. Animals now and passed, have enriched my life and their memories continue to bless my journey.

My Mother died suddenly in early 2020, I went back to a supportive but stressful job 1 month later and a month after that NZ met Covid 19 and the whole Country was in lockdown. I persevered but 6 weeks ago had a MH crisis and left my job. I tears stream down my face as I watch this. I thought I was doing so well however all I was doing was working and shopping. Now I have stopped and the pain is ripe.. great film thanks so much xx 😚

We suffer our memories far too long. Some memories are like the dead, they need to be laid to rest so that who/what's left can continue to live.

Love the filmmakers' note in the description box. That grieving not only comes from the physical loss of someone, but can also come from losing what we considered normal. ❤

This wonderful film brought tears to me as I watched. I lost my husband in 2010 and I don't think I have really dealt with my loss fully yet. I want to but I still think of him every day.
