Talking Story About 'Kaumaha', The Heavy Weight of Grief
This blog post is a warm, personal conversation about 'Kaumaha' grief, which means "heavy weight." The author emphasizes that grief is a normal response to any significant loss—not just death—like going through a divorce or a breakup, recovering from alcohol and substance dependency or abuse and destructive behaviours, loss of employment or a career change, and even illnesses can cause grief. The healing journey isn't easy or a straight line, but the good news is that the weight does lift.
The core of the healing wisdom in this post comes from Hawaiian culture, stressing that you shouldn't go through this alone. The 'Ohana (family and community) is essential for sharing the deep pain and lightening your burden. The traditional practice of Hoʻoponopono ("to put right") is offered as a powerful tool. Using phrases like "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "Thank you," and "I love you" can help you clear old resentments and bring inner peace.
To further support the process, the post recommends holistic practices like yoga, meditation, Pule (prayer) and connecting with nature, Āina (land), as grief is held both in the mind and the body. Ultimately, the message is to be kind and gentle with yourself; there is no time limit on grief, and healing is possible through patience and community support.

E kamaʻilio kākou, let's have a conversation, or better yet, let's talk story about co-dependency. Recovery is possible! Do you feel like you're constantly fixing other people's problems? Like your own happiness is completely tied to someone else's? That's co-dependency, and it's exhausting. It’s a deep-seated need to be needed, often leaving you feeling resentful and totally drained. This is especially true for family members and those close to people with addictions, where the urge to control and "fix" can seem like the only thing that makes sense in the moment; it's a very real and overwhelming need, and in...

The Rhythm of my paddle. I grew up on a sandy beach called Poka'i Bay. It's located on the west side of the island of O'ahu, in the state of Hawai'i. The scent of salt and plumeria, the endless stretch of blue water and the rhythmic beat of paddles – these are the indelible memories of my childhood growing up on the sun-drenched shores of Poka'i Bay on the west side of Oʻahu. For us keiki (children), the beach wasn't just a playground; it was our classroom, our training ground, and the heart of our community. Family memories made, lifelong relationships...
