There is so much we cannot know, isn't there? It would help to see our loved ones' strength and bravery in the face of disease and death as a gift 'or mirror' to us as what we are capable of being. I certainly remember thinking of how gracefully mine managed their terrible circumstances.
Thank you for your comment - it helps others. One of the highest perspectives of grieving is in your approach to the grieving itself, let's say for example the loss of your father whose warmth and love was your constant companion. Grieving with this view means embodying the very qualities that you're grieving - in this case his warmth and love. It's truly an honoring of what that person has given you. The challenge is most people get lost in the loss, instead of grounding and integrating that which they feel they have lost. So when you miss someone, go to the energy of what it is that you miss about them - that's your cue to emulate and integrate, which honors the person's life and how they live on through you.
That helps a great deal!
Thank you!

But gratitude in grief? Not sure what that means.
