The Present Moment

The present moment is significant, not as the bridge between past and future, but by reason of its contents, contents which can fill our emptiness and become ours, if we are capable of receiving them.

The Healing Journey – Embracing Grief and Finding Strength

Grief is a journey that lacks a set timeline. Each day brings a different challenge, and as we continue forward, we learn to carry the weight of loss, not as a burden, but as a part of who we are. In my second video on healing after loss, I delve into how we can find strength in the process and hold on to the memories of those we have lost, allowing them to guide us through the most difficult moments.

Navigating Through Grief: A Day-by-Day Approach

The most difficult aspect of grief is the uncertainty. We do not always know how we will feel from one day to the next. But that is okay. Healing does not require us to have it all figured out right away. It is about taking it one day at a time and slowly learning how to live without the physical presence of someone who meant the world to us.

The truth is that the pain will never fully go away. But with time, it will become more bearable. Like an old wound, it will scar over. You will learn to carry it with you, while discovering new ways to experience joy, even in the most challenging moments.

Mark's Memory: An Eternal Flame

When Mark passed away, I thought the world would come to a standstill. The emptiness was overwhelming. Yet, as I reflect on our time together, I realize that his memory is woven into the very fabric of my being. In moments of deep sorrow, I still feel his presence. It is in the small signs – a thought that drifts through my mind, a song that reminds me of him, or even the way a breeze moves through the trees. These little moments remind me that love is never utterly lost.
