"I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil."
—J.R.R. Tolkien
Elaine Mansfield shares how Rilke's poem, Pushing Through, helped her to manage the grief she felt with the loss of her husband. The poem gives testament to the fact that we can push through the grief into a transformation into something larger than ourselves.
Take time to sit with any grief you may hold. Allow yourself to feel these universal emotions and surrender yourself to the gratitude that lies even in the midst of human anguish.
