This freestyled episode takes a moment to honor grief, pain, anger as part of the human experience. It serves as a reminder for me to come back to love and the gift that is now. Our couples counsellor at the time shared a more expanded 12 stages of emotional grieving which I've included below. Grieving is not linear and if there is anything I've learned over the last year is that your body will always make you deal with it no matter how hard you try to run away from it.

This Cercle Music set by Icelandic experimental composer, Olafur Arnalds was and still is especially uplifting to me in moments like these. Watching it on youtube is even more of a treat

The 12 Stages of Emotional Grieving by Kubler Ross and Kessler
1. Denial (Shock, Numbness)
2. Anger (Rage, Passive Aggressiveness, Vengeance)
3. Bargaining
4. Betrayal/Guilt
5. Depression/ Melancholy (a gray time-out, gestation, strengthening the self to eventually express raw rage, gutted grief, or one’s burning truth)
6. Sadness/Deep Grief (Key moment when a major letting go happens and it gives birth to a more whole, mature Higher Self incorporated in the personality)
7. Mental Comprehension of the Situation
8. Heart Compassion of the Situation 9. Forgiveness (includes Radical Forgiveness) 10.Acceptance/Meaning (“It couldn’t have been any other way. It’s as need be. I understand what this has all been for.”)
11.Letting Go/Gratitude
