Happy Thanksgiving and the Gift of Presence!
The greatest gift we can give someone is our presence. Our full attention. To be present. To participate totally in conversation. To listen empathetically. To be curious. To be a silent witness. To hold space for the emotions and thoughts of another. To connect with spirit.
From Grief to Gratitude
Greenspan says, “The gift that grief offers us is the capacity to see deeply into the way things are. Life is limited. We are here for a short time. Grief asks us to know this, not only in a disembodied, cerebral way, but in the marrow of our bones.” She believes that looking into the face of death offers us the gift of gratitude.
