Grief and the Law of Attraction

I came to reaize that the last time I posted a blog here was in December 2009. That should tell you something.

Unbeknownst to me was the fact that 2010 would be the year my mother passed away and all of 2010 was a buildup to that although I didn't realize it at the time. Her ultimate death was sudden and unexpected but the entire year was focused on her since she had constant knee and back problems -otherwise she was quite healthy.

I could write a tome on taking care of an aging parent when you're also following your dream of being an entrepreneur, but that will be another post.

For now I just want to say the the grief I experienced after her death was heart-wrenching. For all the "arguments" we had and the normal mother-daughter stuff, when I realized she was "gone forever" it was overwhelming.

Despite a wonderful support network or family and friends, I dropped out of site, just wanting to crawl into the cave of grief and despair. I decided to do a "year of mourning."

I'll have much more on the process of grief but I will say for now that despite my sorrow, I never lost site of the the law of attraction and the realization that drowning in my sorrows would only make it worse.

I am just now emerging out of a walking depression, but I am much stronger. While I still feel an immense pain when I think about my mother or talk about her with family and friends, I know that my best course is yes, to think about something positive and to look up and next back. I've said to myself and others I don't want to become a pillar of salt (like Lot's wife) by focusing on the past. After my father's funeral many years ago, when we were waking away from the church, my mother told me not to look back. I didn't really know what she meant at the time, but now I do.

I am determined to stay in a "high vibration" no matter what. I have great work ahead of me and I am determined to help others.

Are you still suffering from grief? Feel free to share your story here. And for others, I would love to hear how you overcame your grief.
