Thank you for such a wonderful meditation it's right when I needed in this process of surrendering and accepting the world as it is with great joy and peace. I finally understood that I need to unburden myself of a few things and thanks to your guidance I will do so.

I’ve been on an antidepressant for about three years after my dad, my husband of 47 years and my mom died within 9 months.. I keep moving forward slowly and one day at a time. Some days are still beautiful while others, not. You shared a beautiful message and touching stories that somehow calmed me down on a difficult day. Thank you.

Thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Yes, grief is an expression of love, and a very wild one, unpredictable. I applaud the tender holding of the grief. One of my learnings: express the grief, then let go and consciously expand as a counterbalance to the contraction of the grief🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I needed this deeply comprehensive exploration of grief and meditation as I am still mourning my most beloved friend who I lost in December. I am grateful for this thoughtful meditation connecting grief and love. It expresses such insight and reveals such thought and care.
