Grief and Rebirth
Closing down the world sure put a chaotic halt to life as we knew it
I want to acknowledge that the way life was, before we closed the world down, will never be again
Even as we get slowly open back up
We will not be the same
We are forever changed by this experience
Truth is, we don’t know yet what that means for how we go about life
This is a vital time to grieve what has been lost
Whether it is a loved one, a career, or a way of living in the world
It is necessary that we take a moment to acknowledge and cherish as well as let go of what is gone
The new culture of the world is helping to shape us
Like tempered steel, this experience has been deepening and strengthening us
Our immediate responsiveness
Our capacity to overcome
The immense creativity we have had to embrace, just to get through a day
All of this is real
It has been a true test of our resilience, as well as our resolve I
t seems to me that this time has encouraged us to get really present to what is essential
It has invited us to put our head down and really see what was right in front of us
To let go of that which does not truly need our immediate attention and whittle down the noise
This has left us with just enough bandwidth to make it through a day feeling successful with only the most important things to attend to
And all else is no longer a priority causing distraction
This has gone on long enough now, we have done this enough times
To begin to raise our heads and take a look around
We have just arrived at this point on the journey though, so even this will feel new and possibly awkward
If the journey forward looks uncertain or unstable for you
Please reach out and book a free consult to explore options for support
If this has taught us anything, it would be to notice how interconnected and dependent we are on each other for our wellbeing
You do not have to move forward alone, find the support you need to make the next chapter of this journey one you can feel strong and grateful in
Blessings to you, Summer
