Grief

Today I will take time to grieve my losses.  It is difficult to open my heart to new beginnings when I long for what is over.  Rather than pushing away my pain and using activity, people, or substances to distract me from it, I will recognize what I feel and acknowledge my losses.  Being present to now will only be possible by letting go of then.  I will comfort myself with hope of the many times I have survived previous losses and I will receive the love of others in my life now.
