At my recovery meeting tonight the topic was grief and loss, with the main driving force of the grief being the death of a loved one. As I shared tonight, when a person dies they go to a place of increased consciousness, surrounded by feelings of love, peace and compassion, a pleasant shift from the mundane world. I did not say it exactly this way, but the process of grief is for the living, the ones left behind. The ones left behind are the ones who experience loss and go through the grief process. For me, my main challenge is to not let my intellect interfere and just let the feelings flow.
