Understanding Avoidance: The Struggle to Name Our Grief

Published on: 23rd May, 2026

Can you name the grief without being consumed by it? Some people can't even get that far. Avoidance means you can't put a name on it at all. But naming it is the first step to not being ruled by it. Ain't no fear. Know thyself and balance your energy.

Takeaways:

  • One must ponder whether it is feasible to articulate one's grief without succumbing to its overwhelming nature.
  • It is critical to identify and acknowledge personal grief in order to facilitate healing and understanding.
  • The concept of avoidance in dealing with grief may hinder one's ability to confront and name such emotions.
  • We must contemplate the significance of recognizing grief while maintaining a healthy emotional distance.
  • Engaging with grief requires a delicate balance between acknowledgment and emotional detachment for personal growth.
  • Emotional resilience can be cultivated by learning to articulate grief without allowing it to dominate one's existence.

PAUL HEATH

I am Paul. When I reflect back on my life, I was always interested in astrology. I would read my daily horoscope in the newspaper every day and often wonder, “how do they know?”
One day I was told I am a “cusp of beauty”, because my birthday was the last day of Virgo. I went home to research what cusp of beauty meant. My curiosity soared when finding out the meaning. I didn’t realize that I had just begun the journey of “Know Thyself.”
Learning how to read my natal chart I acquired the skills to assist others with deciphering their own chart-energy. Astrology has helped me understand and accept me for who I am. Although still work in progress, knowing about myself is surely making the process easier. I enjoy helping others (Virgo Sun) with the information I have gathered (Gemini Rising) that will help transform lives (Scorpio Moon) in a positive way.
I look forward to meeting and working with you as we embark on your journey.
