| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 3,057 of the daily meditation podcast. |
| 0:07.0 | I'm Mary Meckley and I'm so honored to share with you the release of a brand new meditation series that I've been putting together for you for a while. |
| 0:19.5 | It's taking me a little time to put this series together. It's a highly requested theme and I |
| 0:26.8 | wasn't sure how best to approach this theme. So I've been experimenting on myself because I have been experiencing the topic |
| 0:39.2 | of this week's theme myself in my own life and I think you will relate. So the theme for this week's series is |
| 0:49.9 | silent suffering, holding space for those silent struggles in your life. |
| 0:56.5 | In particular, I want to share with you this week's series to help you if you're experiencing what is referred to as |

| 2:30.3 | that often accompanies grief experiences that society, your social circle, |
| 2:37.6 | even your close and dear loved ones may not readily recognize or support you in any way. |
| 2:47.0 | So you may be suffering alone. |
| 2:50.2 | You may have pushed that suffering aside and gone on with your life, and again, it may reappear when you're experiencing extenuating circumstances. |
| 3:00.5 | So you may be suffering in silence and the good news is that you can also heal in |
