A deeply insightful article Open- thank you. These days grief and loss are subjects close to my heart.

I have observed that there seems to be a coupling between grief and a sense of aliveness and potential - just as with death and life. As you say, the stronger one is, the stronger the feeling of the other. And the route through is emptiness.

So, just wanted to echo that as it is my observation too. Lots about this in the book I'm writing.

I've also observed that grief can be expressed in a very beautiful way. When you realise that the feeling behind it is one of love and, like you say, you bring that back inside yourself. Then, you can express that in the most beautiful of ways through being creative. And, if you can bring the love back inside yourself, you'll find the well is very, very deep.

Much love,

Rich
