Our hearts break, but our hearts also heal. The thread that pulls us from heartbreak to healing is love.
Grief is a recognition of endings, but it’s also a birth and a beginning. We enter into a difficult and solitary journey and we come out transformed.
We don’t want to let go of anything, but through grief, we learn to love and appreciate what we’ve had and lost—friends, family, a way of life, a job, our youth, we grieve it all.
1) take comfortable seat and rest
2) bring a personal loss to your mind
3) feel the bodily sensations/ somatic experiences
4) feel the heaviness in your heart holding grief.
5) feel it in the center of your throat.
6) direct your attention towards rhe arriving emotions.
7) just rest and feel, let the change occur.
8) reflect on your grief. It happens with everyone, its hard but you can go through it.

Thanks for sharing.
I've found mindfulness a really useful tool for a diverse number of issues including stress and depression. Knowoing it can be useful for times of grief is really beneficial to know.
It often seems paradoxical to reflect and 'be' present with the pain rather than try to avoid it which would be your first impulse.
