QUESTIONS TO PONDER IN GRIEF
Take a few moments to hold the questions that seem to capture you. As is true of so much that we learn when we encounter death, these questions in grief also move us toward a deeper embrace of life.
-
What is it that remains unbroken within you?
-
What are you doing with the life that has been handed to you?
-
Can I be separated from the ground of my being?
-
How do we meet that place where this loss is brought to rest in us without being destroyed?
-
When your heart is in a crucible will it melt or harden?
-
Can I become larger than the person who began the journey in the first place?
