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...

It's about taking 100% responsibility for everything in our experience, and then, through a powerful mantra, clearing any discordant energies. What is Ho'oponopono...
