If you're needing this video, please accept my condolences. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm not here to tell you how you should feel, because grieving is a natural part of life. No loss happens the same way, and it's experienced differently in different cultures, but it can be painful. So I'm

not here to tell you how to feel, but I'm hoping that if you're looking for some help, that this will help. So, taking full responsibility for your own well-being, even though I feel this loss, I choose to love and accept myself. Even though I feel this loss, I choose to

love and honor myself. Even though I feel this loss, I feel this pain; there's this emptiness, and I don't know how it's going to be filled, and I have all these mixed emotions, and I'm not sure how to handle it. And even though I feel this loss, I choose to

deeply and completely love, honor, and accept myself, this person that I've lost, and everyone else who might be feeling this loss, this sense of loss, all this pain, all this grief. And I know that grief is natural, and I don't need to get rid of it in a hurry.

I don't have to get rid of anything. I accept myself and my feelings. I'm not doing this wrong, and I don't need to hurry up and cheer up for other people. And at the same time, I can allow myself to let go of pain; no one needs me to feel pain.

Though I can choose to feel that, and that's okay. I'm allowed to handle this however I choose to handle it. I'm allowing myself to experience the different feelings; it's only natural that I should feel different things. I'm having these feelings and moving through them.

Moving through the feelings of denial and shock, giving myself permission to accept what is. Moving through these feelings of anger; maybe I'm angry at this person for leaving me, maybe I'm angry at myself for things I said or didn't say. Moving through the

bargaining stage; all the deals that I want to make with God about this. If I'm going through that, that's okay. I'm accepting myself and how I'm handling this. Moving through the guilt; any guilt that I might be feeling about this loss, guilt about the things that I said or

didn't say. This person doesn't need me to feel guilty, and yet I accept myself if that's what I'm feeling. Accepting myself for any sadness or depression that I'm feeling, allowing myself to let go of whatever pain I can and loving and accepting myself the

whole time. Moving through the fears that might be coming up; all my fears about death, all my fears about how I'm going to handle this, all my fears that I can't handle it. I love and accept myself even with these feelings, and I'm allowing myself to clear

whatever fear I can because I am handling this, maybe not in a way that I think is ideal, and I'm doing the best I can given how I felt about this person and given the programming I have about grief. However I handle it is okay

and I am handling it, and I am getting through this in my own way and in my own time, and I am getting through this. Moving through the loneliness; this person has left a gap and I'm feeling lonely. I really miss this person and I feel a lot of pain.

As I expect to miss this person, I'm expecting a lot of pain from not having this person in my life. Part of me might know that they are still in my life, they're still in my heart. And if I consider that everything is energy, and energy cannot be destroyed,

I can allow myself to know I'm still connected to this person, and I can choose to take comfort in that. And it's okay if it takes me some time to get there. I'm accepting myself and what I'm feeling, allowing myself to heal, and the rate at

which I heal is okay, whatever it is. I'm loving and accepting myself, allowing myself to know that there isn't a certain time period during which I need to feel this way. No one's keeping track, and if they are, that's their issue. I'm

feeling love for this person who is past, and I choose to know that they loved me and they don't wish me prolonged suffering. However long it takes me to heal is okay, and it's okay if I move through it fairly quickly, and I'm

handling this some days better than others, and I still love and accept myself. I'm getting support, clearing any blocks that keep me from getting support. I'm reaching out to people, and I'm allowing people to reach out to me when I choose to do so,

and it's okay for me to take time for myself. It's okay for me to feel what I'm feeling, and it's okay to allow myself to feel good, treating myself with love and respect. And I choose to know that treating myself with love is a nice

way to honor this person. It's like I'm saying to them, 'Well, if you're not going to be around to show me love, I'm just going to have to pick up the slack and love myself that much more.' And I choose to feel their love as I

treat myself with love and respect in body, mind, and spirit. Take a deep breath. I love and accept myself right where I am, however I'm handling it. Treat yourself well. Take care of you.
