A Legacy Cafe Grief Recovery Series Written by Patricia D. Freudenberg
The Flow of a Singing Heart
Grief is inevitable, and when it strikes, it can feel emotionally devastating. The thought that we will never see our loved one in the physical form again, never hear their audible voice in real-time, nor feel their comforting touch—this reality can weigh heavy on the heart.
And yet, there is such a thing as a singing heart. But how do we achieve a singing heart when we are in despair?
Choosing the Power of the Mind
Many great motivational speakers and researchers—from Dr. Joe Dispenza to Dr. Wayne Dyer, Dr. Deepak Chopra, Bruce Lipton, and Esther Hicks—agree on one common denominator: the power of your conscious mind.
It may feel like a stretch to even consider joy in the face of sorrow, but what if we chose to imagine? What if we used our mind’s ability to tap into flow—through music, creativity, or passions that once lit us up?
The singing heart is not about ignoring grief; it is about choosing to nurture joy, even if just for moments, until moments grow into habits—and habits, when done consistently, transform into excellence.
The River of Allowing
The inspirational speaker who sparked today’s reflections, Esther Hicks (Abraham Hicks), often uses the metaphor of the river. She suggests that life is like a flowing river—continuing before we arrived and continuing after we transition to the afterlife.
If we fight the current and go upriver, we get bruised, battered, and exhausted. But if we allow ourselves to go with the flow, even with a few bumps along the way, the journey becomes smoother, lighter, and more natural.
So ask yourself: Am I resisting, or am I allowing? Even through pain, allowing leads to healing—and eventually, to a singing heart.
