Day 21: This Quote…
I’ve been chewing on this golden nugget of wisdom from Kahlil Gibran for some time. I find it lovely, and true, and hard to accept.
Here are my questions with my very initial thoughts…
What does it mean to bear pain? (I think it depends on the person)
Is grief what allows us to bear it? (I think so)
What does it mean to feel beyond your pain? (Perhaps this is contained in that moment when you can access the potential that your grief doesn’t define you, yet will always be a part of you).

Welcome to my second, 100-day project. I hope to provide a daily offering on something grief-related. I am a grief therapist and educator working with people in Oregon, Washington, DC, Maryland, and Maine. This feed is in honor of each person who has trusted me with their stories and wisdom during their grief journey. I hope that others may benefit from simple and straightforward talk about a topic that can be difficult.
