Guilt in Disguise

Grief is a space of vulnerability and humility.

There was a rambunctious 9-month old German shepherd puppy available at the animal shelter.

I had lost my Bella Qi just a few weeks before my diagnosis.  She was my companion, my friend,

my soulmate. Now, for the first time in a long time, I’m considering not living alone again.

 

I found myself taking inventory.

Can I bend over?

Can I hold him when he pulls?

Do I have the energy to do this every day?

What if….

Getting a dog is somewhat impractical for right now.

These questions were totally irrelevant. At least, in this moment,

 

The next morning I felt heavy.

I woke up grieving my health.

The took it for granted health

Ate whatever I wanted health

The do whatever Health.

 

Grief. It is a heart centered connection that often lies buried deep.

When the inexplicable surfaces, a reaction, tears, frustration or anger it maybe grief in disguise.

 

Grief is a space of vulnerability and humility. I could feel something was heavy in my heart. I was crying.

I did not know what it was.  Then, I realized I was grieving my good health.

Health before cancer.  This hasn’t happened often but it was happening today.

 

Today was a day for me to be kind to myself and realize everything that I have accomplished.

I AM Accomplished and  I AM Alive.

 

This is The Spirituality of Cancer
