  • Divine Play Podcast: Season 2, Episode 2 - "Understanding and Healing from Grief"
    Jun 1 2024

    In this episode of Divine Play Podcast, we delve into the complex and often uncomfortable experience of grief. Grief is a universal emotion that touches everyone, arising from various aspects of our lives, including our lineage. It can stem from numerous sources: the loss of a loved one, a traumatic event like a car accident, a miscarriage, or significant life transitions, such as entering a new stage of womanhood.

    Grief manifests in countless ways, and there is no singular path to healing. Everyone's journey through grief is unique, and it's essential to honor our feelings and processes. Often, we may feel tempted to withdraw and hide our emotions, but true healing comes from expressing and experiencing these feelings. Asking for support during these times is not only okay, but it's also crucial. As the saying goes, "Feelings buried alive never die." Embracing our memories—whether they are beautiful or dark—plays a pivotal role in our healing journey.

    Key Takeaways:

    1. The Universality of Grief:

      • Grief is a common thread that runs through all our lives, regardless of its source.
      • It's a deeply personal experience, shaped by our individual circumstances and histories.
    2. The Healing Process:

      • There is no "right" way to grieve. Each person's path to healing is unique.
      • Expressing emotions and seeking support are vital components of the healing process.
      • It's important to feel through your emotions, rather than suppressing them.
    3. The Role of Memories:

      • Memories can be both a source of pain and beauty.
      • Allowing ourselves to fully experience these memories can lead to profound healing.
    4. Practical Tools for Living with Joy:

      • Despite the pain, finding ways to reconnect with joy and purpose is essential.
      • The podcast offers practical advice and tools to help navigate grief and find moments of joy.

    Poem Shared by Mirilena:

    (coming soon)

    "In the anger and in your grief, the birds will continue to sing."

    This poignant line from Mirilena's poem reminds us that life goes on around us, even in our darkest moments. The birds' song is a metaphor for the persistent beauty and continuity of life, encouraging us to find hope and solace in the midst of our grief.

    Conclusion:

    Grief is a challenging and often painful part of life, but it also offers an opportunity for profound personal growth and connection with others. By embracing our emotions and seeking support, we can navigate through grief and emerge stronger. This episode of Divine Play Podcast aims to provide you with practical tools and heartfelt insights to help you live with joy, even in the face of sorrow.
