I have always found it easier to say "I love you" to another human being than to say " I need your help."  Asking for help feels like a weakness; in reality, it is an invitation for connection.  The exchange of asking for and receiving help creates this circle of energy that feeds us all.

When you have had a loss in your life, you most likely know this to be true.  For many people, saying "I love you" becomes more important as end-of-life nears or if you have lost someone close to you without saying it, making sure those around know how you feel in the future, takes on new meaning and import.

But what about asking for help?  Dealing with loss is difficult.  There are many opportunities for us to ask for  and to accept help. Letting family and friends help, seeing a counselor, taking time off, joining a support group are all ways to do this.

How are you doing with letting those you love know and help?
