It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses.
-Colette
Grief is not predictable and each person grieves differently. Some spring into action and make sure everything is taken care of. Some retreat into the solitude of their minds. Some people are loud in their grief, others are silent. Expecting grief to look or feel or progress a certain way is useless.
Expectations, in general, are a waste of energy. Expecting something means that you are not in acceptance of what actually is, right now. You aren’t present to the moment. When you aren’t present, you cannot move forward, because your feet and your focus are in two different places. Expectation is the antithesis of the path to enlightenment.
Where are you right now? What are you feeling, both physically and emotionally? What is going on around you? Is your experience based on what is or what you think it should be?
