As we continue to explore your story, we are going to spend today looking within..Ideas about who you are now, what helps, and who has stepped forward?
I envision this as a sprouting seedling… Seedlings want to grow, though there are a number of factors that are to be met for it to thrive and take root… Where did it land? What are unique qualities of the seed? What type of soil is nourishing it? Does it have the essentials to grow like sun and water? These are the basics that set the stage for how well the seedling grows. Do you relate with this?
Here are some questions to get you started:
- What or who has been helpful during this time in your life?
- In your relationships, which have stayed the same, changed or been added to your life?
- What hurts in your grief? Any should, would, coulds that you just can’t shake? Who can help you with that?
- How do you connect to the idea of a seedling, just sprouting in this new way of life? How have you grown in your grief?
