“Grief Walker”

Steve Jenkinson once said :
“Grief is not a feeling. Grief’s not how you feel. Grief’s what you do. Grief is a skill. And the twin of grief as a skill of life, is the skill of being able to praise or love life”…”Wherever you find one authentically done, the other is close at hand”.

What does Grief mean to you?………………Does it always involve loss or change?

If grief is a skill, how do we master it? Or does it serve us better to meet it with gentle authenticity? Is it better to hold it with compassion?

It seems as though Steve Jenkinson is saying that embracing life is the key to developing grief skills.

What if we could tap into an innate wisdom and develop the skill that is death related grief? A grief that begins the moment we are born. And is experienced for the first time, when we lose someone we love. And is buried as a skill in us all. A grief that, one day, we too will die.

Like all skill building, I am sure that it takes intentional practice!
