What a lovely story CrystalSong.
Dad's passing was a strange experience, it was expected, I had said goodbye, he had had dementia and so was all but gone from us anyhow.
However, when he did cross, the surge of emotion was immense. I wonder if I wept and still do as a sense of regret. We had had past life connections, he spent this life looking for me and not recognising me and so only recognised me after he had crossed. Also, I recognised a massive energy shift in the family dynamic which unsettled me considerably. I love the sense of him with me, I love the knowledge of where he is, but it is very very bittersweet.
I love your definition as it being mind / body that is in the grief, I think it is hard as we are earthly creatures with earthly emotions etc, as we become more aware we see those earthly responses for what they are - but I also think that is part of our journey and when we are presented with periods of sadness, through our sadness we cna find comfort in the blessed mother earth.
