Does the pain ever go away after losing a loved one?

The answer is no. The pain doesn’t really go away. It just takes different forms. You feel it differently. It hits you differently. You process it differently. The intensity will be less and less as time goes by. One thing I can tell you, it never goes away. 

You don’t know what healing from grief looks like until you go through it. If you don’t experience a loss from an early age, you are blessed. But when you start losing people as they age, it never stops. 

Whether it’s a distant family member or a close one. Whether it’s a tragic accident or old age. Whether it’s an illness or a sudden loss of life. It doesn’t matter the reason. You will go through grief.  Continue reading

What’s in a Memory?

“The best thing about memories is making them” – Unknown Author

At any given moment, you can pause and reflect, there you are taking yourself back in time, remembering what once was. What are memories, other than moments previously lived. All that is left of them are flashbacks in your mind’s eye or photos and videos, that are physical evidence of a framed precise moment. Some of those memories are the reason why we are still pushing through this life. Some are holding us back from living. Everything has its opposite polls. Memories are no different. The question here, are memories affecting the quality of your current life? Continue reading

Are we awake yet?

Today marks the third year since my grandpa passed to the spirit world. How fast the time went by. So much has happened since then, in the world, and in my own life. There is no way I could have predicted I would be living these times. Neither did the world. A year ago when I was contemplating the effects of Covid on humanity, I anticipated a shift in our consciousness. Today, a year later, I wonder, are we awake yet? Continue reading

The wait is over

So you plan for something and it seems like there is lots of time until the moment you have waited for. There is anticipation, anxiety and some expectation.  But nothing happens the way you imagine it. Events unfold in ways you never thought it could. You wait and you wait and sometimes you think there is still lots of time to do this and say that. Little did you know, time is passing while you are not paying attention. It’s actually faster than you thought. The moment comes and the moment goes. You only realize it after it had passed. And the wait is finally over. Continue reading

This Moment

Here I am sitting in the balcony of my suite, looking upon a magnificent view, listening to the sound of the rain as it hits the trees and the ground, with an accompanying sound of the birds chirping. I describe my setting however the reality is much more beautiful than the words to describe it. It’s a moment to be lived, to be felt, to be immersed into its magic. I realize at this moment Continue reading

New Beginning

With my Birthday approaching, this is the time I normally sit back and reflect on my life. I face myself with the reality of what is, not what I would like it to be.  A reality check so to speak.  My life runs in front of my eyes like a movie and I am watching myself; laugh, cry, succeed, fail, satisfied, deprived, happy, sad, content, needy, surrounded by many and alone.
