I'm so, so, so glad this article helped you in any small way. Dark nights can be so very confusing and isolating. Sending you love!

I have read other articles on The Dark Night and not gotten really much out of them. Although a few I feel are from my go-to trusted sources, they just weren't confirming that I am experiencing a dark night.
Your article set me to tears because it was like I had come home to welcoming arms.
Thank you. You stated that every journey for a person on a Dark Night of the Soul is different. That was very affirming. and there's little nuggets all the way through. This article is clear and offers good, solid counsel. I truly appreciate what you have done here to help us. Love and light to you.

Dear Tami, I apologize for somehow missing this comment. Thank you for sharing those true words of wisdom. My deepest condolences for the loss of your husband, from one mother to another. I found a lot of solace during my dark night from Eckhart Tolle's book The Power of Now, as well as Byron Katie's work, which can be found on Youtube. Presence is truly the most healing and comforting place we can ever be.

I just lost my husband and am left with two children to raise, I am going through my dark night and this article is what I really needed to hear/read this morning. I/we were always making our plans and that is my big regret we were so many times focused on the future that we did not always fully enjoy the present…Many thanks for your writings this morning!

Hi Sara, this is a super late response and I apologize for that. Yes, for about 2 years I feared I was dying due to a specific pain I had in my body. It was like nothing could penetrate my mind, it was convinced I was dying. One thing that really helped me was listening to a playlist I created of videos on Youtube by Abraham Hicks, talking about healing with your mind. That helped IMMENSELY. And in the end, I really learned the art of surrender and being okay with whatever happens. I wrote a few articles on how to surrender and let go of fear. This was one of them: https://jessicadimas.com/embrace-change/

Hey Laura, I really hope things are going better, although I know dark nights can last awhile. I'm glad you already know how powerful surrender is. I know my last dark night truly seemed to only be teaching me that...to surrender. I hadn't really understood before. The dark night is a great teacher, there's no doubt about that.
