You never get over it, time does not really heal all wounds but what I found is I learned better to deal with it. It never goes away but it's ok and it will be ok. Hope you do better. I knew one lady that was drunk for seven years and she finally snapped out of it herself after losing her husband. Pain and sorrow can run pretty deep. Feel better in knowing that you are far from alone.

All My Relations. Your message is very good! It profoundly touches my feelings. I too contend with grief for many of my family and for the human family in these increasingly perilous times. The teachings of my Elders is 'transform your grief into gratitude' because regardless our struggles, the beauty of life will be realized by those who seek it. There is a Plains Indigenous teaching called 'The way of the Buffalo.' When an Arctic Vortex suddenly hits the prairies, and the temperature can drop 40degrees in an hour; all the creatures except the Buffalo, run or fly, as fast as they can with the wind to the South. The Buffalo is the only creature who does not run, but walks to the North into the hard wind. They also form a circle as they walk, with the children and the elderly in the centre of the circle for warmth and protection. The Buffalo then are the first Creatures to come through the storm because all the others are running with the storm. The teaching is, face your grief and your struggles. Don't be a run-away. Walk into the storms of life. OCM Sto'lo Salish good vibe affirmations to you.
