Are You Suffering Generational Grief?

If you’ve been working on your emotional issues but just can’t get to the root of a nagging sadness or fear. Or lived with a feeling you simply can’t put your finger on your whole life. Have you ever thought the feeling might not actually be yours? Further stretching your mind, have you ever wondered if it could be generational grief?

The hidden and often forgotten grief that most (if not all) of us are carrying – generational grief.

The ovum that made you, existed in your grandmother’s body. You have a direct, biological connection three generations back. Think about that for a moment. Think about what your grandmother’s generation experienced! Wars, dictatorships, famines, empires, carnage on such vast scales that we can’t even comprehend. If just a tiny modicum of that grief found its way into us, that’s potentially a huge amount of hidden grief.

Even if you don’t adhere to the idea of generational grief in physical form, Dr Gabor Maté reminds us how we pass our emotional traumas and grief to future generations through our attitudes, beliefs and behaviour. Either way, they get passed on!

The grief and pain we see around us, triggers the grief and pain we are holding, maybe even trying to suppress inside us.

I don’t write any of this to scare you. That is VERY last thing I want to do!! Just be aware, that if you are struggling with grief or sadness you can’t explain, these are some avenues you might want to explore.

The Emotional / Physical Connection

The organs associated with grief are our lungs. Contributing factors to lung problems can be issues such as having difficulty standing up for yourself, constantly needing support or approval, feeling weepy, sad, or tired, unexpressed grief and unshed tears.

So protect your lungs, deal consciously and deliberately with your (or your ancestor’s) grief. Our free Healing Affirmations For Grief & Trauma. will help you identify your feelings and help you clear them.
