Grief Evolves

I just changed the components of the acronym myG.L.A.S.S. because I have evolved. In a very positive way thank God. When I began this blog site, I was still quite raw and reeling from grief over the loss of my son. All I could think about was my loss and grief most of the time. I was still doing the things required of me, but the overwhelming loss clouded everything and I truly believed that Tom was gone and I would never see him again, hear him again, feel him again, or connect with him again because I believed that death of the human body was final. There is nothing else. I no longer believe that. And so, I changed the acronym from myGrief, Loss, Art, Self-Care, and Surrender to myGrief, LOVE, Art, Self-Care, and Surrender.

I still need to change/update my logo, but I'll get to that. The important thing is that I no longer have such a heavy heart. I no longer believe that Tom is forever lost to me other than photos and memory. My curiosity has paid off. I read a lot of books by spiritual teachers, scientists who focus on consciousness and the connectedness of the Universe, taken courses (on-line) offered by spiritual teachers, watched YouTube videos, have joined a number of organizations...you name it. And I have discovered and experienced things in the last year or so that are MAGIC. And I want to share with you all that I have learned. Actually, I am continuing to learn. My journey is just beginning. The magic is just beginning. Much of it is way above my pea brain's ability to understand, but I will continue to work at it. It's been a bit of a fire hose of information and discovery. But I would love for you to join me. It has helped me to become freer, more open, less judging, more compassionate, less fearful, healthier, happier, and therefore a better wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, citizen. But most of all it has helped me be a better me.
