After Sheryl Sandberg's tragic loss a couple weeks ago, HuffPost Live did a segment I was a part around overcoming sudden loss. I wanted to share it with you because, in truth, we all experience change and loss of some sort, every day. It may not be the tragic loss of a loved one, but many times we are, in fact, grieving the loss of something or some part of us.
You can watch the 27-minute episode here:
I’ll let the interview speak for itself, however, I’ll quickly say this…it's hard to say what a sudden and tragic loss does to you. It changes the whole fabric of your being and helps you find less excuses, making you even more open and available to presence, compassion, patience, being more authentically you and giving to others simply because it's beautiful to give. As I said in the segment, when you generously give to others, you also very much give to (heal) yourself.
I've also found the following to be true –> if you allow the pain to lead the way, it introduces you to the more conscious and mindful version of you, one the world, your family and you really need. Smartypants Rumi was so right, “the wound is the place the light enters you.”
I hope the interview supports you in accepting change, no matter how big or small, and regardless if this change is happening in your business, family, body, romantic relationship or beyond.
Life truly is a river and everything changes. Change, Creative Heroine, is not good nor bad, it's just part of this human experience:
And to any of you experiencing a loss of any kind that is making you even more introspective and filled with thought, I know…I really know. 🙂
All my love from the Napa Valley where I'm spending time with my family on the second anniversary of my brother's passing.
(Yes, even through loss and change) Life is good,
