A framework that acknowledges grief anniversaries as natural seasonal markers in the year's cycle, similar to how spiritual traditions honor sacred seasons through ritual and awareness.
Mirabai lived intimately with the rhythms of seasons—spring's longing, summer's intensity, autumn's release, winter's stillness. Her spiritual practice moved with these cycles. This concept reframes your grief anniversary not as a fixed wound to be healed but as a seasonal return, something the year naturally circles back to, much like the earth circles the sun. Some years the season feels heavier; some years, lighter. But it returns. By honoring your grief anniversaries as seasonal markers—perhaps noting changes in how you feel across years, how your relationship to the loss has shifted—you align with natural rhythms rather than fighting them. You stop asking 'Shouldn't I be over this by now?' and instead ask, 'What does this season of my grief look like this year?' This framework, rooted in cyclical rather than linear time, offers deeper permission to let grief be part of your ongoing life story.
Peri can explain this concept, give practical examples, help you decide whether it applies to your situation, or recommend a journey if appropriate.
