Healing from grief, is an illusion. In fact, personally I am of the opinion that you cannot heal from grief. It is a journey and an experience that requires integration. It is a normal aspect of life. Yet, it can be more difficult than you think. However, it is often worse when you are bound by expectations and perceptions of others; when the religion you follow is ignorant of grief and bound by dogma.

Just as the business community can’t do without social media interaction these days, nor can the spiritual community, but the mass upsurgence of social media in the spiritual community has developed quite a sinister undertone: from skeptics setting up mediums and unprofessional, substandard mediumship being touted as professional, to online development circles as the way forward for aspiring mediums. Online courses are a plenty, with ‘certifications’ given out upon completion of an online course.

“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.” ― C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed Fear of Dying – Fear of Living Fear is an emotion that we all experience at some point in our lives, but most people are not aware that fear is also embodied within our grief journey. When not recognized, fear gives seeds to other emotions such as anger, guilt, regret and remorse.
