The speaker invites listeners to approach grief and find healing. They suggest taking time to appreciate simple pleasures, like flowers, and to be aware of one's emotions. They emphasize that there is no "right" way to grieve and encourage self-acceptance. They also suggest finding creative ways to express grief, such as imagining emotions as different types of flowers. The speaker recommends writing down memories or speaking out loud to connect with lost loved ones. They remind listeners to seek help if they have thoughts of suicide. The reflection is on the song "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles, expressing hope for brighter days ahead. You are invited to come near grief and move toward healing. Set an intention today to stop and smell the flowers, or try to slow down and really see the colors of the trees and flowers around you. Notice. You will notice flower images on my post this week. I chose flowers to represent how you might grow through your grief. At times after your loss, you might hold yourself tight and guard your emotions, not ready to open up and reveal what is inside. You might avoid thinking about your loss or talking to others about it. Other days, you might feel open and ready to reveal what you're feeling or thinking. There is no one right way to get through grief. I encourage you to continue to practice accepting yourself where you are at. Be gentle with yourself in this process of healing. It is okay if your emotions change frequently throughout the day. Grief doesn't just cause a person to feel just one emotion. It can be a mix that changes rapidly. This can be a normal part of grief. If you could imagine your emotion were a flower, what flower would it be? Would you be a bud, tight and protective? Or a weed, feeling grouchy and irritable? Or maybe you're another type of flower that is something else. Be creative and allow creativity to share this difficult journey with you. No judgment. Just be curious what your grief would be if it were a flower. My action step today is referring to yesterday, May 4th's activity of creating a container and keeping slips of paper near it to write down memories of your person. Take a moment to think about what you would say to your person or memory that you have of them. If you have a slip of paper, go ahead and write your thought or memory down and put it in your memory bottle. Or take a moment and just say out loud something you might wish to share with the person that you are missing. Finding ways to connect with our lost loved one can help us through our grief. Just a caution, if you have any thoughts of suicide or joining your loved one in that manner, please contact a friend, speak to a therapist, or call the crisis line. You do not have to be alone. Reflect. The song for today's reflection is the Beatles' Here Comes the Sun. I've included the YouTube link at the bottom of this article. Reflect on the knowledge that the sun will shine again and you will be able to embrace and welcome it. And if you are not there yet, it is okay. Have a beautiful day and thank you for listening.
