When you say goodbye to a parent, you are suddenly living in a whole new world.

You are no longer ‘the child’ and regardless of how long you have officially been ‘grown up’ for, you realise you actually never were until this moment. The shock of this adjustment will shake your very core.

When you have finally said goodbye to both your parents, assuming you were lucky enough to have had two. You are an orphan on this earth and that never, ever gets easier to take no matter how old and grey you are yourself and no matter how many children of your own you have.

You see, a part of your body is physically connected to the people that made it and also a part of your soul. When they no longer live, it is as if you are missing something practical that you need – like a finger or an arm. Because really, you are. You are missing your parent and that is something far more necessary than any limb.

And yet the connection is so strong it carries on somehow, no-one knows how exactly. But they are there. In some way, shape or form they are still guiding you if you listen closely enough. You can hear the words they would choose to say to you.

You can feel the warmth of their approval, their smile when a goal is achieved, their all-consuming love filling the air around you when a baby is born they haven’t met.

If you watch your children very closely you will see that they too have a connection with your parents long after they are gone. They will say things that resonate with you because it brings so many memories of the parent you are missing. They will carry on traits, thoughts and sometimes they will even see them in their dreams.

This is not something we can explain.

Love is a very mystical and wondrous entity.

It is far better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all and grief, grief is the price of that love. The deeper the love the stronger the grief.

When you say goodbye to a parent, do not forget to connect with that little girl who still lives inside you somewhere.

Take very good care of her, for she, she will be alone and scared.

When you say goodbye to your parents, you lose an identity, a place in the world. When the people who put you on this earth are no longer here, it changes everything.

Look after yourself the way they looked after you and listen out for them when you need it the most.

They never really leave.

My thought for today-
Surround yourself with people who truly care about you. What does that look like?
1. They are always there for you, in good times and in hard times. They step up to help.
2. They share their successes with you and allow you to share your successes.
They are your biggest cheerleader. They are truly happy for you.
3. They tell you the hard truth in a kind way, “ Try a different style and see how it looks” vs. “ yes, your butt looks big” .
4. They are not threatened by other friends. They want you to surround yourself with as many positive people as you can.
5. You know you can trust them, they always have your best interest in mind, even if it goes against their own beliefs.
6. You feel lifted up after a visit with them vs. torn down.
7. They make you feel good about who you are as a person.
8. Last one, you never have to feel you have to change who you are to be their friend. They love you as you are.

I have always loved Sundays. It is a day to gather with family, friends and loved ones. Today, make the most out of your family time, hug a little tighter, smile a little more and show your gratitude for having each other💜

“When you think of fear, remember the acronym F.E.A.R.
which stands for Face Everything and Rise!”
Mabel Katz, Zero frequency

For me, fear is an immobilizer. Whenever I choose to just walk through the fear, I always grow.

I want to share something I read in a book this morning-
1. Try to remember what you use to dream about.
2. Reconnect to what you used to love.
3. If you are a parent, play more with your children!
4. Laugh as much as you can. And don’t forget to breathe!

These 4 things make me excited for my day!!!!! Join me and let me know how it went with a comment!!!!!!
