AmarAtma, a trained Grief Recovery Method Speciaist and Board Certified Chaplain, shares his journey of discovering and working with grief. He discusses the importance of recognizing tangible and intangible losses and the impact of unprocessed grief on the body. AmarAtma emphasizes the need for emotional processing and the connection between grief and trauma. He highlights the role of safety in the nervous system and the importance of releasing stored emotions. AmarAtma reframes grief as an expression of love and discusses the potential for inner peace and world peace through grief work. Grief is transformative and has the power to turn loss into hope, character, purpose, and life. Society often avoids grief, but it is a natural part of life that needs to be actively embraced and processed. Grief is not a problem to be solved or an enemy to be defeated, but an invitation to grow and transform. We were never taught how to grieve properly, which leads to unresolved grief. Living an unscripted life after loss requires courage and can lead to a deeper sense of joy and aliveness. Grief work is not about staying in the grief business, but about embracing life and finding completion.
