Eleven years ago my Dad passed away suddenly. I was only 18. For a long time, I could not begin to understand or cope with this tragedy.
As the years go on my relationship with this event continue to evolve. As does the relationship I have with my own life.
For so many who have endured the loss of a loved one - you know. You know the deep, deep pain that ensues. You know what difficulty it is to find any words that describe such circumstances.
You, also, might know a reverence for life that not many others can relate to.
Yes, we all endure loss at some point. But the nature of an "untimely" loss has a different effect. It wakes us up; shakes us to our very core. Then smashes us down to depths we never thought we'd know. To experience two of the most grave difficulties of life: the vastness of human emotion and the impermanence of life itself, especially together, can be a synergistically lethal combination. But, if you're reading this. That means you're still here - congratulations! It means you've had moments where you realized your life can still go on, without this person. As unbelievable as that once seemed or felt. It remains true. Because you're living proof! Whether you're pushing on for the person you lost, for other people you love, or for yourSelf. You're doing it. You're doing it with a renewed perspective. A vantage point. An opportunity to make every moment count because you truly understand the fragility of life. Not only when it comes to loss but when it comes to the act of Living. So LIVE! Live for the one you lost and for the Life that is your perfectly unique and Divine embodiment.
And if, and when, you grow weary, you can rest back into the hands and wings of your guardian angel.
Live your Truth
& Love to All,
Emily
