I pay attention when something happens in multiples. I've had three people lately ask for a gemstone for supporting someone who is grieving. The first that comes to mind is Apache Tears to let you feel pure grief (and it’s been sitting in my Buddha statue for a week)!

Kayla (@kaylaburnsfloyd) always reminds me that pure grief transmutes into joy and knowing. It makes me think of that Steel Magnolias scene where M'Lynn (Sally Field) is raging in grief after the funeral and then they all end up laughing. And Truvey (Dolly Parton) says, “Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion."

The Buddha is my most cherished souvenir - maybe ever. He came back with me from my first trip to Bali and holds a new gemstone helper each week (or as long as I need it). Apache tears has been so relevant for me lately as I ask to feel. it. all. in regards to continuing to advocate for this body and make decisions on what comes next for my trachea.

Give yourself permission to feel deeply, to grieve when you need to and to invite the sadness to move. All emotions are worthy and yet I feel deep sadness and grieving deserve a little extra patience and care.
