When walking with another, knowing how much pain some are experiencing, know that it is not yours to fix.

The soul probably isn’t asking you to come in and heal wounds.

Most people want acceptance of who they are being and acknowledgement of the event, to release pent up emtions.

If you have someone that reaches out to you to vent, congratulations, you are considered a safe space for them to share.

They are trusting you with the most vulnerable parts of this human experience.

Joy and love are wonderful to share.

It’s the pain and woundings that we often will hide from, shying away with stories within as to why it’s hard to share.

Worried about being judged or how we will be perceived by others.

What this truly means about ourselves, in our own perceptions and stories.

Going through heart break, break downs of relationships, we may reflect on what another did.

This questioning can quickly turn on ourselves and yes, we are asked how we may have contributed to what has played out.

It can also lead to self-deprecating thoughts and turning on our self in shame, anger, denial. Questioning our very nature.

Much emotion will rise.

Did we not see who this person was being?

Was I taken in by another’s lies and falsities?

Was it more comfortable to skim the surface in believing what was not real?

Why did I allow what happened, to occur, more than once?

Self recrimination is poison.

Self reflection can be a double edged sword.

On one hand you might want to take responsibility for your part in the relationship.

Then you may judge your own actions and spiral.

Spiralling serves no one

Can halt what we perceive as the healing process

Can feel never ending

There is always new layers of awareness that will come to you

When you are supporting another

Moving through difficulties

Whether through relationships with others

Their personal health challenges

Those that we love are generally looking

For acknowledgment and to accept where they are, in that moment

You may have your own ideas

That may be of use, at a later date

Being with someone in times of chaos and conflict

Is a gift

To the person you are supporting

And to you

We are all connected

It is such a blessings to walk together

When we can see that

Accept that

Life opens up

In ways you may not have even conceived possible.

Fo you and all around.

Walking in Grace
