Grief Lives in the Body
When we lose a beloved person, especially a mother, pain settles not only in the soul. It touches the entire organism—energy, cycles, the ability to function. This is not weakness or depression that can simply be "switched off." This is a physiological state that requires understanding and time.
"Grief doesn't really go away completely. With this grief, you know what you have to do—sometimes you even need to approach it differently so it would go away."
Grief has its own cycles, like any biological process. There are days of rising energy and days of decline. This is normal.
