I’ve been fighting grief lately.
One moment, I feel like I’m getting myself together…
Then a memory hits me and the healing heart shatters all over again.
Damn!
Losing a loved one is a lot to deal with.
Especially when they leave too soon.
It drains you mentally and emotionally.
Because there are so many questions… and no answers.
Some days, I lose the drive to show up or do anything.
Because, to what end, really?
What’s the point of all the struggles, all the growth, all the becoming…
When tomorrow isn’t even promised?
Phewww.
It hurts, mheen.
Still, I’m learning to find strength in the quiet hope that they’re in a better place.
I’m trying to embrace the fact that no amount of tears, regrets, or pain can bring them back.
We just pray for the strength to carry the ache.
Here’s a gentle reminder:
We won’t be here forever.
One day, our time will come too.
But before then, let’s make it count.
Let’s live.
Let’s love.
Let’s fulfill our purpose.
So that when the grim reaper shows up, we won’t be scared.
Instead, we’ll embrace it with a smile, knowing we lived fully, fulfilled purpose, and left nothing undone.
That’s the goal.
If you’re grieving, I hope this speaks to you.
Stay Sharp!
