#54: The Spiral Staircase of Life With Grief: We Can't Step Off But We Can Level Up
I recently heard a metaphor that I want to share: Life is like ascending a spiral staircase and because of this, we keep revisiting the same core problems and issues time and again. They may not always look the same, but they often hold the same roots. Consequently, when we see ourselves faced with the same type of issues over and over, it's often easy to miss how much we have grown, and it's also very important not to.
The grief of losing a child becomes our deepest wound and one we will never, or never even ever want to, walk away from. As we face this trauma over and over again, there are going to be times that we feel like we have not moved forward at all.
This episode is about keeping faith in the process because as long as we are taking the correct actions, we are moving forward, even during the times we don't feel it.💕
