In Yogic Numerology, the Number 8 brings up some deep grief that is difficult for others to understand. While grief wants to be understood by another, the truth is that grief is deeply personal and often can only be experienced fully alone. Others cannot understand because they have not been there and walked through it with you. And while it is unfair to expect them to get all the subtle ins and outs around some losses, it is also essential that those that do not have all the information … do not get the right … to instruct those (deep in the process) in what to do … or how to act.
Grief often comes in stages.
In psychology, they say the five stages of grief are: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
But in our modern world of aging, there are situations where we let go of people and situations in pieces.
Sometimes I wonder if we do a dis-service to humanity by all our incredible tools that allow us to extend life.
The question should be asked, “Are we extending suffering as well?”
We face those above five stages when someone suddenly exits this world or our life. But there are the debilitating diseases of age … in which we lose people a little bit at a time.
Today, notice those places within that are struggling to resolve something that is currently occurring. Then allow yourself to recognize that certain choices made are the best ones available to us at this time. While we wish to stop the processes of death in our lives, such a wish is not possible. All of us will go through such things and all of us will do our best. But more often than not our best just does not seem to be … ideal.
That is why it is important to realize that it is not our choices that are at fault … but the fact that there are no really good options, other than the ones we have currently.
Today, realize that life is never completely comfortable so why would we expect death to be any different.
Dealing with grief is the active process to learn to stay present with what just is arising in each moment.
And some moments today might be harder than anticipated. Be kind to yourself. Others cannot completely understand what you are going through. Do not expect them to be able to comprehend all the complicated ins and outs that are unfolding currently in your reality.
