Loss & Release

Good morning. I feel obliged to share this short poem and prayer I wrote on 'loss'. Because we all go through hard things, and we can all relate to the difficulties and healing that go along with them. We're all human, after all.

Look back in fond memory and forward with hope.  

It's difficult to loose someone. It's difficult to see the whole thing, being helpless to change the outcome. It's difficult to wake up, confused and asking questions about what happened. It's difficult to be a survivor when your friend didn't make it. It's difficult to hear friends breaking down on the phone with the news you had to tell. It's difficult to clear the haze of that day and pick up reality again.  It's difficult to bear the heaviness.  

 

We understand, we relate, we feel.  

...and know that...

It's alright. You will be ok. You will live on. You will grow strong from this. You were renewed your gift of life. You will become closer to those who care for you. You will reach out for more support. You will share your love more fully and vibrantly everyday. You will grow a whole new appreciation for being alive. You have this gift of life. 

We understand, we relate, we feel. 

Look back in fond memory and forward with hope.

Have a beautiful day loving life!
