This morning I have woken up with a deep sense of sadness, loss, grief. Not for myself I donāt think, but for others - a number of family members in particular, clients, friends and people as a whole.
My heart hurts because of otherās hurt and loss. Not only just the hurt and loss through death, but the hurt and loss of anything important to an individual - home, relationship, job, limb, friendship, self esteem.
I find it so hard watching and listening to others dealing with their own type of grief, knowing I canāt do anything but be there, wishing I could take the pain and heaviness from them. I want to carry their suffering and throw it to the wind.
In saying this, because Iāve suffered so much grief myself over the years, I know itās impossible to take someoneās pain for them.
With loss, pain, and trials comes growth. Sometimes itās hard to see the new shoots sprouting, it may take years to see, but they come ⦠eventually.
No matter how much we wish certain things didnāt happen to us, we canāt change the past.
No matter how much the future may scare us, we canāt live in fear and anxiety.
Today is now. Now is what we live. Now is the time to live in the moment. Ride the waves, enjoy the view, learn to find something to be thankful for every day.
Iām so thankful for my husband, my children and their spouses, and all my grandchildren, my parents and my siblings.
When my battery is low and my cup needs filling, I still have them. I love them all with all my heart š„°
