I have come to know this refuge along my journey of grief, whenever I need to remember to remember that I am held, I am never alone, my heart space expands to a larger Love. In that space both sorrow and gratitude, sadness and love exist at the same time.
Two days ago, I lost my sweet dog who was by my side for 13 1/2 years, after 3 other lifetimes with me. The grief is sharp and intense, more so because I am divorced and living alone now without him. I feel the need to be alone with other animals such as horses right now. I want to walk in nature, but it is too painful because my dog was always with me there. Thank you, Tara, for this video
I found a depth of loss that has grown in me for a few months now. I feel as if my life has become unmoored, there is little to steady me. But I have long believed in a loving presence. Part of me knows that presence is here with me and in me. There will be a day when we will dance. During that meditation, though, I felt only the vast emptiness.
Thank you Tara for the reminder to ask the question, to pause and notice what has held me in times of loss and difficulty. My dear deceased dog came to mind and her loving nature reminded me I can be more open to loving others.
I feel grateful. During Tara’s talk and guided meditation I remembered touching this mystical space of greater belonging and heldness. Thank you for clearly and concisely languaging the path and for the reminder that I have experienced this. I am also grateful for the encouragement & inspiration that I can grow my connection/relationship with this sense/experience of larger belonging.
Tara, The teachings that come through your so very calming voice and loving heart are like the sunshine. Many thanks for helping me/us be able to better live and navigate being alive in these challenging times.

I’ve avoided my grief by fueling the guilt I felt when my beloved was dying. I was unkind and selfish … desperate to avoid her departure; desperate to hold on to her. Forgiving myself is still on the path ahead.

The word ‘universe.’ This puts my grief in the place where it actually is. It’s not so much about me as about everything. We’re all in it together.
