Surrender
Surrendering is a very personal and highly spiritual experience…….and it’s not something that we do in our heads.
It’s certainly not something we can force or control by willpower. It really is something that must be experienced.
Surrendering is about acceptance and, unfortunately, also something that is rather messy – it’s full of horrible feelings, such as anger, rage and sadness, followed by a sense of release and relief….and as we surrender, we experience our frustration and anger at the world, at other people, at ourselves and at life.
Then, underneath all that, we come to the core of the pain and sadness, the heavy emotional burden inside of us that must come before we can feel good again.
The irony is that these extreme emotions are the ones connected to our healing and release of pain at the deepest level. Surrender sets all these wheels in motion. Our fear and anxiety about the future can only be released when we finally surrender to what must be……
We are protected. We are guided. Good things have been planned. The next step is now being taken and surrendering is the process that allows us to move forward, even if, right now, this may seem impossible to believe……
The inevitable will always happen…. putting our trust in the rightness of time, and the freedom to be found when the pain subsides, is the only way to humanly struggle through the extremes of loss…….
