From Predictable Grief (the 5 Stages) to Exponential Grief Resilience:
Open Yourself to Living Life Anew

Grief is universal, yet deeply personal. It can leave us stuck, disconnected, or questioning how to honor our loss. What if grief isn’t the end of the story? What if it’s an invitation to deeper connection, meaning, and vibrant living?

You’ve likely heard of Dr. Kübler-Ross’s stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. But did you know these stages were meant to describe grief, not prescribe it? The first four stages represent a fight with ‘what is’:

• Our personal feelings seem to take us out of the flow of the bigger spiritual picture. How can feelings become an opening into our spiritual and emotional connection? 
• There is a strong correlation between the experience of allowing what has already happened with experiencing something new in life. Many of us would like to participate in life, but find visibility scary. How do we deal with competing values: contribute vs stay hidden and safe.
• When we seem to be “progressing” spiritually and emotionally, why do we get stuck in the same looping thoughts and feelings? Is the looping a deeper level of the problem like the layers of an onion, or it residual from your past conditioning?
• What does it mean when spiritual masters talk of finding the SELF? Are there 2 of us? If there is a “True I” (the SELF), who is this body-mind-personality that I have called “I?” 
• What role does the physical body, worldly achievement or wealth play in the experience of contentment? What is success to you? 
• What is the cause of psychological suffering and is it possible to change our experience of life, without changing the outer world?  
• Perhaps the most frequent question I get asked is: how do I live in the world, but not believe I am of the world?

True acceptance begins when we stop that fight.

The Truth About Grief

You may have heard the phrase:
“Grief is love with nowhere to go.”

This belief—and others like it—can keep us stuck, turning grief into perpetual suffering. I experienced a startling disruption to my own grief in 2018. Everything changed. Now, I’m sharing the teachings and tools that have helped me live bigger, bolder, and with purpose…specifically honoring Melissa.
