I want to express my condolences for the many deaths you have suffered. It is a great task to remain strong about this and to accept that we are finite beings. It helps me to think and contemplate what gifts the deceased left us and what good influence they had on us. But not to transfigure them about it and to remain realistic. I notice that deaths cause some people to idealize a deceased... which I understand as a kind of compensation. Death should be more present in my modern society. It is often carried out outside the everyday and this shows me how anxious we are towards it.
I am glad to see that despite these difficult times you remain faithful to yourself and seem to have found a way to find inner strength.
My heart is with you.
Thank you, @erh.germany Thank you so much.
Interesting that you should mention the gifts of the deceased. That is exactly how I have come to peace. I had that moment in 2006 when I realized (after a loved one had died) that love doesn't come into our lives to ruin it or make us forever sad...it is a gift...to be loved and to love someone.
But these last couple years....whoa! Hardly enough time to catch our breath. I am very grateful that we have finally found our 'new normal'.
Life does return, we do smile again....thankfully ;)
Blessings, @erh.germany
