Waves of Grief
We will support and carry you in the Sacred Dance of Grief .Grief is like the waves of the ocean . It comes in waves , ebbing and flowing . Sometimes the water is still and sometimes the waves of the water are chaotic. All we can do is learn to swim . The pull of the waves keeps you from dancing on the shore. We will all experience it in our lives, that is if we have a pulse .The uncertainty , change and contrast .Pain and joy , success and humility ..
Grieving the loss of a loved one is tough, but even more so when it seems like the whole world is dancing with joy. Movement can be our sources of healing and strength in times of sadness and grief. Grief is like connective tissue .Linking us to one another . Moving beyond loss we may discover on the dance floor ,the hidden gifts of grief . Movement Aids the Grieving Process, and Transforms Grief into a New Identity .
