Grief is one hell of a rocky road, yes there are five phases of grief, I learned that when I volunteered for hospice, I have lived through grief and survived, it was not easy, in fact, it really sucked most days. Especially the year of firsts, the first (insert any holiday here), the first birthday or anniversary, or big event your loved one wasn’t with you. After my stepdad died, on special holidays we would set a place at his spot at the table, for his birthday we went to his favorite restaurant and asked for a bigger table so he would have a place to join us. I only wish I had known about flower essences then…it would have made life, for my son and I, a little easier, to cope with so much loss in such a short period of time. I do know that the next time death comes calling I will be prepared. There is nothing wrong with asking for help or a little emotional assistance when your whole world just got flipped six different ways! It’s OK!

Every person deals with grief in their own way, some people take years and never fully recover or feel the same. Some people may never really feel happiness or joy again not deep down, they may put on a smile or might laugh but its never again comes from deep within the solar plexus chakra. Some people will become so lost they may start self-medicating by using drugs or alcohol, even becoming suicidal because they miss their loved one so much and don’t feel like they can go on even one more day.

Blossom Spirits are blended to help a broader group of people who are suffering from grief.  You don’t need to do the whole grief thing alone, it’s OK to have some support to help you gently navigate the phases of grief. If the grief you are dealing with is old it will take time for the Blossom Spirits to work, but like an onion, it will start peeling away the layers and you will begin to feel the difference.
