“When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.”
~ Kahlil Gibran
My Mom passed away suddenly and unexpectedly last week and it’s been a whirlwind, of many things, many emotions.
The thing I am so struck by, and choose to focus on as best as I can, is the incredible KINDNESS of those surrounding me, who are watching me in pain. I am also struck by the way those who’ve been through it — intense and awful grief — really get it.
One of my friends, who also lost her Mom but at a much younger age, said the following amazing and wise words, which I would like to offer up to those of you in grief:
"Hi Taylor - I want to say that I totally get it and I'm sending you so much love. This is just so, so hard. For me, it's comforting to remember that the grief I feel is a reflection of the love I had. Often it's the hardest days that I feel the most connected to the memory of my mom. If I can, I try to take some time alone and go for a walk or a drive somewhere pretty and just let myself feel it. I'm sending you tremendous amounts of love. And I'm here for anything you need.”
For those of you in mourning, feeling grief or sadness, or just having a shi*** day, I am sending you light, love and courage, because we all in this together.
Be the Inspiration. ✨ 🌟 💫 ✨
