Good Grief: A Definition

Today I feel all the benefits of good grief: my head is clear, I can laugh (Amy is hilarious & entertaining), I'm excited about my business again, I'm grateful for the beauty that surrounds me, I feel lighter and more honest with myself about what matters and what doesn't, I honor my ongoing need for exquisite self-care (massage, creative expression, working with intuitive and mediums) and I feel deeply connected to Hunter as well as my parents.

Yesterday I ventured into Nordstrom to look for some boots and sat down for a few minutes to take a phone call from Oralee. I turned and there, right next to me, was a sign that said, HUNTER. Of course! In Nordy's! He loved high-end clothing! It made me laugh out loud. The more connected I feel to him the less I suffer from his death.
