Grief arrives like a wrecking ball, shattering not just our hearts but our entire constructed reality. Everything we believed about safety, control, and our future suddenly makes no sense. This is what I've come to call "Mystical Grief"—when the most devastating loss becomes the doorway to profound spiritual awakening.
Society has conditioned us to view grief as a problem to overcome so we can "get back to normal." But those of us who have faced profound loss know a deeper truth: there is no going back. Life is permanently divided into before and after. The self I thought I was, the life I thought I had, the future I imagined—all shattered when my son Weston left this physical plane. Yet in this devastating space, I discovered that grief and grace can coexist. Pain and peace. Sorrow and beauty.
What makes grief "mystical" is how it thins the veil between worlds. When we're broken open, mystical experiences often begin happening—feeling our loved one's presence, receiving meaningful signs, experiencing dreams more real than waking life. These aren't delusions; they're what happens when grief shatters the walls between seen and unseen realms. In my experience, Weston has provided more guidance since crossing over than I received from years working with coaches and spiritual teachers. He's teaching me to stay present, trust myself, and stop seeking outside for what I already am.
The formula I discovered early in my journey was this: Pain × Resistance + Wishing things were different = Suffering. When we accept what is, even while it hurts, we can begin exploring the new reality and discover that love transcends physical form. We are never truly separate from what we've lost—at the soul level, we are one. Your heartbreak creates a space that divine love rushes to fill, if you allow it.
If you're walking this sacred path of mystical grief, know that your pain can become a bridge not just for your own transformation but for everyone around you.
