Milestone of Reaching the Age of 50

Loss
Grief is always layered. What creates sadness in this unfolding moment can be over-shadowed by the echoes of past grief. If you are overwhelmed by any given loss it will benefit you to think about what other losses this may be re-creating the experience of for you.

Are you reluctant to feel your grief? Do you refuse to feel the sadness of the grief associated with your losses? Are you aware of the anger and angst that unattended pain causes you? Do not choose to suffer.
Suffering is a choice. Refusing to honour our losses with the genuine expression of our sadness is a choice to suffer.
