Grounded Healing & Integration Series – Chapter 8

 


The River of Grief — Letting the Emotions Flow

Grief is not wrong.

It is like a gently flowing river, winding through the wilderness of the heart. Sometimes, it slips from your eyes in silence; other times, it carries deep fatigue and emptiness, too heavy to put into words.

Growing up, we are often told to be “strong,” “positive,” and “cheerful.” But in the language of the soul, grief is an extension of love, an emotion that longs to be acknowledged, a signal that something inside us yearns to be held and seen.

Once, during a quiet meditation, I felt a dull ache rising in my chest—an ancient sorrow surfacing. I didn’t try to analyze it. I just sat with it, allowing its presence. Tears began to flow gently, and in that moment, it felt like I was holding a quiet funeral for a long-lost world within me.

That moment of allowance became the beginning of healing.

Emotions are not our enemies. They are compasses, messengers from the soul.

Grounding Suggestions:

  • Find a safe space where you can cry, stare blankly, or simply do nothing at all.
  • Write a letter to the grieving part of you. You don’t have to send it—just express it truthfully.
  • Close your eyes and imagine yourself by a river. Place your sorrow in your palms and offer it to the river to carry away.

You are not alone in crossing this river of grief. In unseen dimensions, your soul family, guides, and a greater love are walking beside you—always.
