If you wish to alleviate your grief, be of service. Yes, you are in great emotional pain, and it grows no better by focusing upon it. Your thoughts and memories can hold you prisoner to the past and present. The present can become lighter when you acknowledge what is and find a way to turn the present into something of benefit to another. That apparent “other” may be a person, a group, plants, or animals. It matters not. What matters is the result. In caring and giving of the self in service to others you discover the satisfaction of shifting from “woe is me” to “it’s all we.”

You are so very loved.
