Weekly Healing Meditations:

“To share your weakness is to make yourself vulnerable; to make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength.” – Criss Jami

In the aftermath of our loss, others may tell us to “be strong.” There’s no denying that it takes strength and fortitude to embrace an survive our grief.

But the reverse is even truer. We must allow ourselves to be weak.

Grief shatters us. It tears us apart. We are tender and weak. And when we are genuine with others, expressing our most painful thoughts and feelings, we allow them to see our weakness. We expose our vulnerable insides. The paradox is that it takes courage to let others see our weakness.

From our weakness and vulnerability grow our healing. They are fertile soil.

I will allow myself to be weak and vulnerable. In grief, weakness is strength, and vulnerability is powerful.
