3. GRIEF AS A GRENADE

Raw musings when GRIEF is at the wheel and implodes like a grenade. An unedited 10 minutes into the musings of BLENDED WISDOM. From corporate lawyer to full time writer, Julia Mathison explores a journey unexpected into grief and it’s ability to detonate us emotionally and physically.The internal cost of grief is examined and the way it ricochets through our being,A small offering of hope that the fruit born of grief may be for a purpose and not necessarily our own - that the fruit of the ride, the learning in the lessons yielded by grief are to serve others as well, once we can convert the grief into something aligned with who we become in and from it. As the apple tree weathers storms but is not nourished by her own fruit, so too can we digest this lesson in time and allow it to shape us. The person lost may also be the one for whom we continue to live, create, offer our gifts in the world, in honour of and for them...Always a personal musing, featuring personal preferences, with a desired message to follow your hearts direction and accept the calling of your innate gifts. Books references made to:The Year of Magical Thinking - Joan DidionBlue Nights - Joan DidionGrief is the Thing with Feathers - Max Porter(Title taken presumably from the Emily Dickinson poem - “Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all...) Support the showTHANK YOU FOR LISTENINGPURCHASE MY STORIES ATwww.jemathison.com
