Episode 133: Transforming Grief into Gratitude: A Journey in Three Poems
Where are you on your grieving journey? In this heartfelt episode, we explore the three stages of grief: from gasping for air in the depths of sorrow to transitioning into a place where the ache remains but healing begins, and finally, reaching a state of gratitude for both what was and what is to come.
We can't bypass the hard parts; we must go through the process to transform our grief into something more—a deep appreciation for life's gifts. Drawing on the powerful words of poets William Stafford, Mary Oliver, and W.S. Merwin, we examine how poetry helps us understand and navigate the journey from sorrow to serenity. Discover how grief can eventually be transformed into a peaceful state of gratitude.
