Why We Resist Grief (and How to Work with It)

It can be easy to believe that the “real healing” lives somewhere beyond the resistance—that the point is to push past it and feel the feeling, because that is what’s healing. Right?

I don’t think so.

Tending to whatever is most present is healing. Healing doesn’t mean pushing through, bypassing, or trying to get beyond it. The experience of resistance is part of our wholeness and has wisdom to share.
