Recognizing that unprocessed grief and loss shape attachment patterns, and that moving through grief consciously opens access to deeper relational capacity.
Mirabai's devotional poetry is saturated with grief—longing for the absent beloved, loss of family connection, social rejection. Yet her tradition holds that grief, fully felt, becomes a gateway to profound love and freedom. In attachment work, many anxious and avoidant patterns mask ungrieved losses: abandoned attachments, unmet childhood needs, betrayals. By consciously facing and mourning these losses rather than replaying them unconsciously, you create space for new relational possibilities. Mirabai teaches that grief is not something to overcome but to inhabit fully, and in that inhabitation, the heart becomes more spacious and genuine. This concept invites you to locate the grief beneath your attachment defensive patterns and allow it to soften rather than harden your capacity for love.
Peri can explain this concept, give practical examples, help you decide whether it applies to your situation, or recommend a journey if appropriate.
