RE: How to Unlock Lifes Full Potential | My 5 Preferred Steps to Open your Mind #WakeUp
5 - Embrace Life in its Completeness, Even the bad things.
Sometimes there no easy answer, Towards the end of last summer my 16-year-old son died suddenly and the truth is all our lives will never be the same. His 2 younger sisters have lost the brother they always known since there first breath and are we to forget everything we know... No.
But life goes on regardless and some things take time to get used to. So I think there's always an exception to any rule. Not until it happens to you do you find out the harsh reality of life...you not here for long some far less than others and you have no control over things you think you have control over. Time is the most valuable thing as it can never be got back. Every day I wish my son was here to annoy me like he did, drain my wallet like he did. but would I change it no?.It's Not your normal scenario and they the ones that hurt us the most,
A piece of my heart has been ripped out, i'd give my life in a heart beat if it was for my kid/s but saying that...It's not how it works most of the time there's nothing you or anyone can do... Just is what it is, what will be will be. You just have to find a way to cope with it and move forward.
Within every loss there is a new beginning. Its hard to see the world through a gods eye but everything happens for a reason and sometimes that reason is to feel that pain, maybe that reason was to spare pain. Who knows why people go when it seems to soon for them to leave us. I say we must embrace the bad things because a loss is a test of will and determination. If you fail to see it that way nobody would blame you. As you said you will never feel okay with this so why continue to hurt over it? its redundant to say because obviously you will (and you should) but you should not feel bad forever because a life is a life, and had it not been your son it would not hurt. He is free from this cruel world and the suffering he would have received. I know there are far worse things than death, i know you would give your life for him if you could but is that what he would want? Maybe all your mistakes can be redeemed. If you lay content with the pain you will have it but there is always an opportunity to grow. I am sorry for your lose but i dont think your son or your daughters want you to hurt and to protect them should be the lesson you learn from this. If it feels any better, however he died could have been mercy from a far more painful death later on in life. I wish you all the best and hope for your Growth and happiness. If there is a Heaven your son is doing well and waiting for you when you complete what you came here to do. You comment means the world to me and your choice to speak shows me a man of great character. You already know what has to be done, you knew the whole time and failed to do it and now you must and will make up for it. The most i can do is upvote back. Good luck Brother, i am with you
We can only cast a Shadow where there is light, and in the Darkness it will shine even Brighter.
In order to understand and appreciate the good in life you must understand what it would be like to live without it. After all without the pain in life it would be completely unclear why we should be happy at all. Looking back the Answers are all clear, Learn from the past to change the present to make a better Future. This is what i believe we can do to better ourselves and in turn the rest of the world. We are just one part of a whole and every action we take is History.
