Joy and grief are states of being, we can’t have one without the other. Life has no relationship with stagnation. It’s not about gaining or losing, it’s about building resilience. Grief is like a flower, recovery is it’s bloom. Savouring joy and being in perpetual thanksgiving is the antidote to all grief. We have to remember that every thing evolves, nothing remains the same. We have to be ready for the evolution.
