Oh, don't expect too much of yourself, not too soon. Gently does it.

The music was so lovely, but my feet wouldn't lift off the floor! The oddest sensation and a reminder that, as you say, gently does it. Thank you Linda.

Music has the power to bring emotion to the surface at the speed of light when we are simply not prepared for it. x

Exactly Mary. I was quite shocked that my feet wouldn't do what I was telling them.

Linda is right, go gently and know that this too will pass.

As you know I have been learning to swim over a few years, and Barry was teaching me to swim better just last summer. (He was a very fit and strong swimmer even just before Christmas.) Thank you for this Elaine.

That you wanted to dance is a step off the floor Freda. Be gentle with your heavy heart, the new steps will come. Hugs xx

Some music just makes you want to dance doesn't it.

Your grieving heart has its own sense of time. It is hearing a different kind of music.

My head needs to learn from my heart I think. The duality throws me sometimes (if that makes sense).

With grief, one never knows when or how the door will suddenly be flung open again!....i was reminded of the title of a book on health issues: "when the body says no". It is true....our bodies cannot be lied to....they will speak when we cannot; and even when we are not fully aware of our feelings.

Learning to hear what they are saying is probably a good practice Julia. I think this is very wise. 18/4/2016 12:09:05 pm
Grief can take hold of you so suddenly especially when you are not expecting it. Sometimes it can be two steps forward and one back.I'm sure your dancing feet will return when they are ready, Sarah x

Thank you Sarah, I'm sure you are right.

Time is linear. Grief is a ebbing, flowing wave outside of time. Eventually, when your heart is light, your feet will follow, then the dancing begins. Gently, gently.
