To the woman hiding the hole left after loss

I want you to know that I know something very precious was taken from you...

I am holding my heart as I witness the emptiness that is now carried inside; echoes of times past, memories of better moments when who or what you miss was still close by...

Heart emptiness carries a yearning that clings to what was and what we loved. We search for something similar and nothing else fits the spot just right...

We can't speak about it, in case all of loved ones feel sad they cannot make their connection with us - the connection that we lost!

So we wake with it, we shower with it, we eat breakfast some days right beside it...

The emptiness just won't move on... And then another loss expands that emptiness and we realize in shock that it can grow! (Have you felt this too?)

In time another loss makes the space bigger than we knew we were able to carry. And so we walk, we talk and we move with so much emptiness - it becomes spaciousness...

And we become Big Spacious Open Humans who know the preciousness of connection!

If this resonates with you!

I see you

I see your spaciousness

I hold reverence for the space you hold within that was once filled with loss and grief or still is...

I believe our spacious hearts were forged to lead!

This journal entry is devoted to those Wise Leaders who care about connection, who live in integrity and who have given many years to refining a craft that honors the human touch!

I am here for you!

May we move from our new spaciousness that can stay close in a world that is increasingly distant.
