Living through Death



Death is immensity, the finality of something that ceased to exist… But all because you cannot physically see them, touch them, speak to or hear them it does not mean they are gone.

When a child loses a parent they hold within them a piece of that person, their blood is your blood, you have (hopefully) years of stories and memories and by remembering who they are, by knowing them and that feeling that is felt at the leaving of their body, you know just how lucky you are to have known someone who has impacted your life the way that they have, to feel what you feel is love and that is more than anyone can ever ask for.

It’s my belief that nothing dies it simply changes forms. . . And by remembering they live on through you. Spirit is with us we are energy and yes you may not be able to physically speak to them, see them in the physical form but they are with you, surrounding you, guiding you, so pay attention, remember them and be wowed at how life has a way of showing you they are walking right along beside you.

Death is immensity, it’s all consuming but when things have run their course the only step is change, try not to be selfish in wanting to hold onto someone/something when it’s their time, they have the right to transition to what's next for them - I know that it feels unfair, it feels a lot like abandonment, and believe me I know a lot about abandonment, but you never lose them, they have and are a part of who you are, be allowing for them and live on in memory of them.

You should always live for you and not for everyone else. Yes it’s true some people are taken far too young, to early, too soon, but there is never a right or perfect time for change, it simply is and it happens - but I am a fond believer that the universe never gives us anything that we cannot handle, even when we feel like we cannot, we do, it's a test of strength of courage and it leaves its mark with us/on us in helping us become who we want to be.

Death is not the end it is just a new beginning.

Be a lighthouse! Shine even in the darkest of nights and you will find your way.
