Riding the Waves: Understanding Grief with Abraham Oros
When you are mourning, emotions and memories come in waves. Ocean waves come and leave of their own accord. You cannot control them. Neither can you control the waves of emotions or memories when you are mourning.
Ever felt like grief hits you in waves, leaving you adrift in a sea of emotions? In this episode of 'The Recovering Escapist', Abraham Oros opens up about his own experience with mourning, particularly after receiving the heartbreaking news of his grandfather's passing. Abraham shares a poignant passage from Rabbi Brian that beautifully captures how grief and memories ebb and flow, much like ocean waves.
You can't control when they come or how strong they'll be, but you can learn to ride them out. Abraham reflects on the importance of allowing yourself to feel these emotions fully, even when they're overwhelming. He emphasizes that it's okay to not have all the answers and that sometimes, just being present in your grief is enough.
This episode serves as a comforting reminder that grief is a natural part of life, and it's crucial to give yourself the space and time to process it. Whether you're dealing with recent loss or old wounds, Abraham's insights offer a gentle, supportive message that you're not alone in your journey. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that encourages you to embrace your emotions and find solace in shared experiences.
