Grief as the Inevitable Path
What happens when grief becomes the daily companion of healing.
1. Before
Two years ago, a devastating motorcycle accident left this client with a traumatic brain injury, the loss of a leg, and a grim prognosis for recovery.
In the months that followed, his body survived, but his presence was not fully back. Part of him lingered elsewhere — caught in the astral realm — creating ongoing disturbance for himself and those closest to him. His wife, already stretched as the family’s anchor, became the primary everything: caregiver, advocate, decision-maker, and emotional ballast.
The grief was undeniable. His grief for what he lost. Her grief for the life that shattered overnight. The family’s grief for the man they loved but could not fully reach.
2. The Work
For nearly eight months, I drove two hours each way, week after week, to sit with him in long, immersive sessions of 2.5–3 hours. The work unfolded across many layers:
Field Work at the Accident Site: The trauma was not only in his body but frozen in the Field itself. Untangling that imprint helped free him from the moment that had bound him.
Distance Healing: In the earliest months, when he could not engage directly, work in the Field held him until his presence could return more fully.
Hands-On & Energetic Repair: Sound, movement, and subtle energetic interventions supported his nervous system and physical healing.
Grief Holding: Nearly every session brought tears. His weeping wasn’t weakness — it was medicine, the body mourning its losses and making space for integration.
Supporting His Wife: Weekly sessions also included walking with her as she carried relentless responsibility, navigated family conflict, and absorbed the weight of her own grief.
3. The Turning Points
The first time his Field “landed” more fully back in his body, the disturbance around him eased. His presence returned in a way everyone could feel.
Clearing the trauma at the accident site released a frozen layer of shock his body had carried since the crash.
The steady rhythm of therapy, alternative medicine, and Field work — woven together by his wife’s constant care — created momentum toward healing.
4. The Aftermath
Now, nearly two years later, the results speak for themselves:
He is doing many things doctors once said would never again be possible.
His emotional stability and physical capacity have exceeded every prognosis.
The sense of him being “not all the way back” has shifted; his presence is here again in a way that can be felt and trusted.
But grief remains.
5. Caregiver’s Grief
This journey is also her story. His wife — once a woman who lived fast, scheduled life months in advance, and thrived on control — now lives in the daily improvisation of survival. Anxiety keeps her circling in the blow-by-blow details of daily life, while the practices she knows well remain untouched.
Her grief takes the shape of exhaustion, heavy caregiving, and the loss of the life she once imagined. It is not a chapter she can close. It is her daily companion, woven into every meal, every transfer, every night’s sleep.
6. The Reflection
This journey shows that grief is not optional. It is not something to “honor” as an act of choice, nor a practice that can be taken up or put down. Grief is intrinsic, inevitable, and undeniable. It insists on being faced, day after day.
For him, grief lived in the tears that came almost every session, as his body and soul mourned what had been lost. For her, grief lives in the ongoing weight of caregiving, in the erased future, in the slow grind of a life re-written overnight.
And yet — even in grief, healing has unfolded. Presence has returned. Possibilities once closed have opened. What wasn’t supposed to happen, has.
This is the paradox of the path: grief and healing are not opposites. Grief is part of the healing. And though it has no finish line, it is also the soil where renewal quietly takes root.
If grief has become part of your daily life, you don’t have to carry it alone. Grief isn’t something to fix — it is an unavoidable companion, and it can also be a teacher. This work offers a way to walk with grief, not around it, and to discover how it can become part of your healing.
