MOVEMENT...IN THE BODY...MOVEMENT IN THE SOUL...Sometimes when we are grieving we hardly can get our bodies to move. Sometimes moving is the farthest thing from our minds. We just want to sit and curl up and pretend the day is not starting.Most of us...even you...can put one very heavy foot before the other and move any ways. For the first while, every move can hurt when grief is so fresh with us. 
Movement is important in the grieving process.
It helps our grief to move. We need to move our bodies and as we
do, our grieving souls begin to move.We need to do some things even if our souls feel like they have been left behind. We may even need to force ourselves. Yet as we begin to move back into life... movement begins to feel easier. I am a strong believer that as we move our bodies...our souls heal...even when we don't think they are. Sometimes when we move we find ourselves crying especially on a walk or a run. So go to the movie or for a walk or a drive. You are going to hurt anyways. Move the grief in you so it can heal.
