Today on the Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about one of those difficult realizations that we often have after we experience the loss of something or someone of great importance to us and what can happen as a result.
I’ve gone through it myself when I was younger and have seen + heard it from enough people over the years - friends and clients who are navigating a death, divorce or destruction of the familiar.
You know, those kinds of situations where you might feel wicked sad to lose the people or pets you love, or you’re being forced to face uncomfortable changes in close relationships and accept that your ideas and ideals don’t always work out.
This resistance and sometimes shock that even though something huge in our life has happened - the world seems to have not gotten the ole’ memo. HA!
That despite our personal losses, whatever or however significant they may be, Life Goes On.
The key lesson for us is to not take it personally, to not take it to heart and get upset with the world around us because it continues to move on, even though we’re crushingly sad and temporarily unable to keep up.
Understand that it’s okay to hit the pause button and step off the treadmill for a little bit. You can take the time you need to grieve that loss, get some support, help or mentoring, and do the work of self-care and self-awareness.
There’s a natural process that we have to go through - but in the end, we must be willing to surrender the suffering to our Inner Teacher and Spiritual Team and open our hearts and minds to healing - so that gradually, but inevitably - you can begin to transform “Your Story to Your Glory” and step back into the Fearless Flow of your life.
