“When we consciously work with endings, we’re granted entry into the lost rooms of who we are, what we need, and what is right for us. We discover wisdom and longings unaccounted for in our everyday lives. Like the missing pieces of a puzzle, we feel a deeper truth fitting into place.“ ~Kristen Roderick, from Blessing Our Secret Sorrow

“What endings or losses have you minimized, forgotten about or swept aside? What ‘ghosts from the past’ are haunting your life?
What losses are pleading to be remembered? What little griefs have been hidden for too long?
Take a moment now to recognize them. To drop down into them. To feel them in your bones. It’s time to bless them and bring them home.” ~Kristen Roderick

“Through the eyes of the dominant culture, not completing something as expected or not moving on right away when something ends is synonymous with failure. As a cultural concept, failing undermines our sense of worthiness and ability to belong. And so rather than submit to failure, our endings go underground. We may be surprised, years later, when we continue to carry sorrow, anger or resentment about what is long gone.” ~Kristen Roderick, from Blessing Our Secret Sorrow
Blessing Our Secret Sorrow acknowledges the many little deaths that go unnoticed in our lives. Whether we are working through loss right now, or whether the loss happened years ago, this course offers the space to work with our endings, to grieve them, to gather their gifts and invite them in. Course begins April 29th. Find out more here: tinyurl.com/secretsorrow

“Not only is initiation about entering a new phase of life, but more fundamentally, it involves a major change internally. In this sense, not all endings involve initiation, but any major ending or loss is an opportunity for initiation, altering who we are, our values and beliefs, our behaviours, and our ways of seeing the world.
Far too often though, the need for initiation goes unnoticed or is ignored.” ~Kristen Roderick, from Blessing Our Secret Sorrow

A good friend of mine is moving across the country today and although I’ve known it was coming for some time, it wasn’t until I sat in circle with her on the weekend, among friends, to take the time to honour her place in our hearts and what her friendship has meant that the sadness of this ending hit me. When she told me she was moving, I remember thinking maybe I could just let this one “slip by” like another blip in the many endings of life, without really feeling it. But as I reflected and articulated what our time these past seven years has meant, I realized I couldn’t get away with that ~ and I didn’t want to. I have to face this loss, like the many other losses that have struck a chord deep in me, rearranging my cells and reminding me ~ take the time. This matters.
Although friends come and go, along with births and deaths across the lifespan, when we honour endings they become the gifts they were always meant to be.
I am part of you, you are part of me. The crossing of our time together has left an imprint and changed me. Acknowledging our losses creates room to honour the gift of another in our life. As isolating as it can feel, it tells us “I am not alone.”

“There is something familiar about the rising and falling of loss, how it takes us below the surface of our lives and works on us in some alchemical way.” ~Francis Weller
Right after I had my son, I went into a dark period that lasted a year. Some people called it postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety, and that was definitely there. But I was going through something else too. Even though I knew my life would irrevocably change, and prepared myself for it, I had no idea the kind of loss and grief I would feel in those early months when I *should* have been feeling happy, joyful, grateful, fulfilled. In truth, I felt the opposite of that, but even admitting it was taboo.
Regardless of the cause, endings and loss cause upheaval, initiating a change in our values and beliefs, how we see ourselves, and what’s most important. In addition to all the feelings that follow a recent ending are the contradictory messages we get from those around us. Rarely does the culture in which we live recognize loss for what it is – a natural process in the cycle of change. Rather than consciously moving through times of change, allowing our feelings to guide us, we are taught to get up, dust off, and move on. But within every loss is an opportunity to discover who we are beyond the role, relationship, or status that defined us. Endings and loss are an opportunity for initiation.

“In the confusion of endings, we may forget that we've been cracked open by loss and grief. Layers of our usual protection are peeled away; our guard is down; our armour is set aside. This is a tender, vulnerable time and although this vulnerability can be an incredible, precious gift, it still needs protecting.” ~Kristen Roderick, from Blessing Our Secret Sorrow
