How does grieving help?

This is something I hear a lot, along with comments such as, how will grieving bring back what I’ve lost? Grieving is painful and I’m already in pain so why bring any more on myself? Focusing specifically on the comment: Why grieve? It won’t bring back what I’ve lost. This is true as nothing can do this, however what grief or more accurately, grieving can do is help bring you back.

Power and Benefits of Exploration

If my work was a cake, a couple of the main ingredients would include curiosity and exploration. I bring up 'exploration' because I was watching a movie recently and heard a quote from TS Elliot's, Little Gedding, Four Quartets that I've always liked and each time I hear or read it, it always makes me stop, think and explore. The quote itself hooks you in to what it actually relates to. That's what's so clever about it. This is how it reads: We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time. How often in life does this occur to you? It could be food you've always eaten but one day you eat more slow
