Grieving Takes Space

How do we start to grieve? Grief is like starting a fire- the flame needs oxygen to begin to burn and build. Unfortunately our brains do not like us to feel negativity, so instead of letting grief ignite, our brain allows busyness to crowd the flame of grief. If left unnoticed, that grief, much like the unattended flame, can turn into a wildfire, consuming everything in its path. If we allow our grief space, we can save ourselves years of damage control and repair.
