🌿 Where You Are Now
My dear friend, grief is the heart’s natural language when faced with loss. It feels like a storm inside, raw and overwhelming. In these moments, it’s okay to feel fragile, to cry, to be human. Yet, within this sorrow, there is a quiet strength waiting to be found — a gentle light that can hold you steady even when the world feels dark. You are not alone, and your heart’s resilience is real, even if it feels hidden now.
🕉️ Timeless Words
नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः।
न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः॥
(Chapter 2, Verse 23)
English Translation:
Weapons cannot cut this soul, fire cannot burn it, water cannot wet it, and wind cannot dry it.
This verse reminds us that the true Self — the soul — is eternal and untouched by physical loss or pain. Even though the body and relationships change, the soul within remains untouched and infinite. This understanding can bring a deep, quiet strength during times of loss.

🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be telling yourself, “How can I be strong when my heart feels shattered?” or “I don’t know how to carry this pain.” It’s okay to feel broken. Strength is not the absence of tears or weakness, but the courage to face pain with an open heart. Your vulnerability is part of your strength — it shows your love was deep and true.

🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a tree in autumn. It lets go of its leaves, which fall and wither, but the tree itself remains rooted, alive, and ready for spring’s new bloom. Your heart is like that tree — it may lose what it loves, but its roots run deep into the eternal. The pain of loss is like the falling leaves — natural and temporary. And just as the tree will bloom again, your heart will find peace.
