In the last few years the people of America have been asked to "move on" through some pretty traumatic happenings. We have moved on from kids and people being caged and families separated. We watched George Floyd get murdered on our screens. We have watched people charged with high crimes get favorable treatment and no justice was served. Breonna Taylor and so many others didn't get justice and we are told to "move on." We have had to sit by while our friends, families and neighbors get extremely sick and nearly 400,000 people have died from COVID.

The reality of "moving on" is extremely damaging to our souls. If we do not slow down, reflect or process we will not heal. I am thankful that today we have the opportunity to grieve the loss of so many of our siblings here in America today.

May we grieve together. When the tears begin, do not try to stop them... cry it out. If you are hurting and angry, sit down today and write it out. Find a journal or open up a google doc and just write it all down. It doesn't have to make sense. If you need to pray today, spend 10 minutes on a silent walk just breathing and then share your grief with your higher power.

You need to grieve today. Your soul needs it. Don't just move on.
