Survive The Grief

 In living we come to find that within the time of pain also comes a healing in the same movement. As difficult times enter, peace is also within that movement. The 2 living gifts are indeed one and the same, working in a harmonious manner for the objective in which gives the human being enough strength and understanding to move forwards with a humility and ability of acceptance we never knew we possessed. In this we come to realize we have it through the pain while joy is still present. The realization is that it is the presence of joy that carries us. The power and impact of grief causes us within that time, to think that it is a burdensome moment that is of an unceasing measure of pain without the measure of time because it feels sacred as well as totally emotionally and psychologically consuming because its new and sudden. We are never thought to be prepared as we are to find out that we have always been contained with what is necessary to survive even before we were physically born. We were created with a profound balance of power. We wish for the pain to cease immediately, the same as understanding why the grief is present, and also justifying its presence because of the love we have for those who have passed on to another state of existence. I found in grief a wisdom and understanding of life and living that can only be accumulated for the purpose of becoming more enlightened of life and its seemingly perplexed moments.Those moments that seem to be created for our inner destruction according to principals we know are better to hold on to, for our sanity upon a humanitarian level. We ask why it is happening.

I find that the easiest and therefore most dangerous thing to do during trying times is the lost of your un-indoctrinated divine perception, your rational intuition that seems to go in opposition of your emotions that are always revealed to be irrational and destructive. The real war will forever be within and of how we respond to experiences set before ourselves. Many have observed the forgiveness principal and "idea" as a form of dealing responsively to their challenges even though it is deemed a law of legitimate response and so it therefore enslaves your natural intuition, It is nothing more or less than an escape from the reality of what is without putting forth the interest for resolving the matter honestly and completely as it should be understood sufficiently. Grief can never be understood by rejecting it, or running from it because upon the other side of the nature of grief, as peace as pain comes with healing. Only then is forgiveness a possibility. Remembering in observation of hurt feelings and trying times that healing comes with pain and grief and will always be the victor. One is made to understand the importance of endurance and its gift as we simply decide not to destroy ourselves in more reactions than one in which will not only affect our lives, but the lives of others who surround us. We choose to survive the pain and to continue to love.
