Can Sadness Lead to Wholeness?

article image placeholderUploaded by @DBPardes
To be human is to know sadness. Owning our sadness is courageous and a necessary step in finding our way back to ourselves and each other. Brene Brown we always talk about sadness sadly, right, because it is a heavyweight. It feels like it's mud, and we're trudging through it hoping to get to dry land. But inside the sadness, I think a lot of unique moments can be had in my own personal life. When I've been sad, the quiet part of me really emerges

@DBPardes It’s makes the good times richer.

When you read that quote, I thought you was going to say to be human is to err, to be human is to be sad or to experience sadness or to know sadness. I think that says exactly. I think that's true. It's just one of the many, I guess, range of emotions that we're going to experience. And I think between sadness and happiness or joy, these are the two that we will experience profoundly over and over again

Sadness is the pathway for healing and joy. @

Thank you, Deborah, for reaching out and for inviting me to this space and this community. Oh, sadness. What a complex word and feeling. Sadness was one of the emotions I was told to keep quiet when I was little. I remember being alone in my room, sobbing under the bedsheets after seeing my parents fight or having a bad day at school. Sadness was just not okay. For some reason

@PKBriggs @ccarrier trigger to touch into sadness?

I'm wondering if you have any thoughts or anybody listening has any thoughts about the idea of when you're watching a movie or with somebody who said, either way, you're with someone or some trigger that creates a sad moment and you partake in it and then you touch your own sad. Is that a really kind of highly functional way of touching your sad?

Being open, willing, and curious

Hi, Debbie. That's a that's a really good question. And it's interesting because I have also found myself lately watching movies and really, you know, sobbing. And I think there's some and richness about that. And I think it's not necessarily considering that as the only way to get in touch with our emotions, especially our sadness

We don't want the world to see that we are broken because we need to move on. We need to survive. And I think very less people have time to really think or talk about sadness because they are all busy with their own lives. They have their own sadness already camouflaged as something that they don't care about. So, yeah, this is my way of dealing with sadness that I tend to ignore it most of the time. I tend to not acknowledge it
