GRIEF

I am the Spirit of Grief.

I go to people who experienced great loss of some sort.
I feel the emptiness no one has experienced without going through the exact experience themselves.
You hold me for comfort, I understand.
But do not hang onto me too long.
I help you feel the loss.
But you cannot keep hanging onto it.
Move on as your ancestors have.
In the Trail of Tears, the ancestors experienced so many different losses, but they survived to create the First Nations in Canada.
Do you see them being honored?
No. You have forgotten them.
It is okay, they live on through you and your children.
The grief was theirs to carry, not yours.
Time heals.
