"Learn the art of acceptance. It's a lot of grief."
Codependent No More
Everytime there is change in my life, I need to accept that there is a grieving process that goes with it.
Whether it is a change in a relationship with a loved one, a boss, a group of people, a boundary, a habit, it all adds up to finding acceptance of where I am at, and when I can come to that place, then I can take action to bring about the change I need to make.
Change is never easy. It generally comes from a comfort zone that we don't want to let go of.
It has been my experience in recent relationships that I have become aware of abuse and have had to detach from the person, place or thing. I do not accept abuse today. Before in my life I thought it was just a part of life. Whether it is a control issues, isolation from others, verbal and mental abuse, I needed to accept the fact that I was worthwhile and not deserving of such treatment.
Acceptance of what is in the moment, allows me to just be, and connects me to my HP, and I am able to move forward as my life unfolds. I become aware of what is, and what comes into my life so I can live a much more healthier, spiritual, and happier life.

"Learn the art of acceptance. It's a lot of grief." ************************************ Hmm, acceptance. thats a huge word for me right now. My cousin just passed away on Xmas day after my mom of 3 months ago. I never got to say goodby to her. It tore me up. But with this acceptance looming over my head that I can't do anything to change the fact that it happened but can just move on and accept it with grace and just be stronger. but right now i don't wanna be .lol. just for today is my slogan here and I know that my mom and her are in a good place right now. good day

We need to find acceptance my friend, that doesn't mean we have to like it. Celebrate their life and the goodness they brought to your life.
My prayers and condolences to you at this sad time of the year.

We go through a grief cycle whenever there is loss and change in our lives. We need to recognize when we are in that life cycle and be kind to ourselves.

Acceptance is not something we find overnight. We generally have to go through the other stages of grief before we get there.

The 7 stages of grief Shock and denial. This is a state of disbelief and numbed feelings. Pain and guilt. ... Anger and bargaining. ... Depression. ... The upward turn. ... Reconstruction and working through. ... Acceptance and hope.
