The course is in June so my thoughts are from what I gleaned reading the course description. This course is based on Stanford Medical School’s compassion curriculum. Self-Compassionįinally, I signed up for a course at the Tibet House “Science and Practice of Self-Compassion”. God is well above my pay grade but the analysis and experience of grief is not. If you are familiar with the essay and Lewis you also know this is his questioning of God and God’s grace. 'One or other of us must some day be as he is now.’Īs I reread the essay and am struck by how brilliant Lewis is in finding the perfect language to describe grief and what is taking place within grief. Whenever I meet a happily married pair I can feel them both thinking. 'To some I’m worse than and embarrassment. I regularly reference Lewis from this essay and his thoughts on seeing a couple and how he can’t help but think one of them well suffer the grief he is suffering. I read it within a few months of Donna’s death and I wanted to look for a passage that I have been quoting. Raelynn was on and her song “Your Heart” struck an emotional chord.Ĭhange the last line to “Til your heart is broken” That pretty much sums up where I am in this entire death and grief journey. Heart break not just for your pickup truck but your life. At times the lyrics break though with the undertow of heart break. Country music is my go to workout playlist.
