"Being there is everything in love, in life and in dying. Sometimes, due to circumstances beyond our control, we can't be there physically. But that doesn't mean we're not connected in love." -

"Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us of a falling star; one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever." -

"How do these geese know when to fly to the sun? Who tells them the seasons? How do we, humans, know when it is time to move on? As with the migrant birds, so surely with us, there is a voice within, if only we would listen to it, that tells us so certainly when to go forth into the unknown." — Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Grief By Gwen Flowers

I had my own notion of grief.
I thought it was the sad time
That followed the death of someone you love.

And you had to push through it
To get to the other side.

But I'm learning there is no other side.
There is no pushing through.
But rather,
There is absorption,
Adjustment.
Acceptance.

And grief is not something you complete,
But rather, you endure.
Grief is not a task to finish
And move on,
But an element of yourself-
An alteration of your being.
A new way of seeing.
A new definition of self.

"Even within our deepest sense of loss, we know that life continues. Despite all the losses and endings that may be bombarding you, new beginnings are all around in the midst of pain, loss may seem to be never ending, yet the cycle of life exists all around us." -

How Do We Understand When Green Leaves Fall?

"Even with lots of warning and preparation, death is unbelievably difficult event and when it is sudden, it has it's own set of complications. We all know that we will live and we will die, because we see beginnings and endings all around us in nature. We accept intellectually that everything has its season and time. But it may be harder to find peace in a world that regards autumn as the time only when the ground is covered with old brown leaves.
How do we understand when green leaves fall?" -

The Lesson Of Love

"We can only find peace and happiness in love when we release the conditions we place on our love for each other. And we usually place the toughest conditions on those we love the most. We have been taught conditional love well- we have literally been conditioned-which makes this a difficult unlearning process. As human beings, it is not possible to find complete unconditional love with one another, but we can find more than just the minutes we usually get in a lifetime.

One of the few places we do find unconditional love is from our children when they are very young. They don't care about our day, our money, or our accomplishments. They just love us. We eventually teach them to put conditions on their love as we reward them for smiling, getting good grades, and being what we want them to be. But we can still learn a lot from the way children love us. If we loved our children just a little more unconditionally, for a little while longer, we might create a very different world to live in.

Conditions on love are weights on our relationships, When we release the conditions, we can find love in many ways we never thought possible.

One of the greatest obstacles to giving unconditional love is our fear that the love may not be returned. We don't realize that the feeling we seek lies in the giving, not in the receiving.

If we measure love received, we will never feel loved. Instead, we will feel shortchanged. Not because we really were, but because the act of measuring is not an act of love. When you feel unloved, it is not because you are not receiving love; it is because you are are withholding love. "-
