How Inner Peace Helps You Deal with Grief

The loss of a loved one is always devastating to the psyche. However, if you are grounded in inner peace, the impact on you is greatly reduced.
When a loved one passes on, the intellectual effects are overwhelming. Memories, fears, and confusion hit you like a tidal wave; you feel as if you are totally submerged by grief.
And then there is the vacuum the permanent disappearance of the loved one creates. The person (I am including pets as persons) had been a part of your life for a very long time. He or she had always occupied a large space in your mind. The two of you would do many things together, and you would think of him or her constantly. But now all that mental activity is suddenly irrelevant, and you do not have anything readily available to substitute it with.
This situation is, for the large part, unavoidable and painful. It usually takes time, sometimes days, sometimes weeks or months, before you can break the surface of grief with only your nose, to "breathe" and deal to a limited extent with your immediate environment . However, if you are grounded in inner peace, you can push more than your nose above that surface; perhaps your whole head or maybe even your torso.
When you are grounded in inner peace, you are in a constant mental state of stillness and awareness. You do not feel any movement in your being, yet you are intensely aware of your thoughts as well as all physical sensations. The moment a loved one passes on, the flood of thoughts mentioned earlier occurs. But if you are already in a state of still awareness, it will be like watching a movie about a flood from a seat in the audience.
The net result is that you do not feel personally as distraught or depressed as you would if you were "swimming in your thoughts." Less of a toll is taken on your nervous system, your attitude towards life and those who are dependant on you. If you are in a very advanced state of inner peace, there will be no toll taken at all.
This is how being aligned with your inner peace makes grief more bearable. It is therefore a very good idea for you to identify your inner peace and abide in it as soon as possible!
