Why I am called to work with those who grieve ....

THE MAIN REASON I WORK WITH GRIEF 

The dark night of the soul can happen to anyone.  I believe in some ways it happens to everyone..  Yet it is much more significant than simple misfortune.  ...it is a deep transformation , a movement towards indescribable freedom and joy.    and in truth it does not always have to be unpleasant.

The dark night is a profoundly good thing. It is an ongoing spiritual process  in which we are liberated from attachments and compulsions and empowered to live and love more freely.  Sometimes this letting go of old ways is painful, occasionally even devastating.   But this is not why the night is called "dark".  The darkness of the night implies nothing sinister,  only that the liberation takes place in a  hidden way , beneath our knowledge and understanding.  It happens mysteriously, in secret, and beyond our conscious control .  For that reason it can be disturbing , or even scary, but in the end it always works to our benefit.  

More than anything I think the dark night of the soul gives meaning to life. The meaning revealed in the dark night is beyond understanding.  
Gerald D May, MD The Dark Night of the Soul, 2004
