Death and dying…..
I’m asked often about my perspective on grief and I get a similar response when I share my thoughts. Most people people are impressed with my process.
Let me share more with you:
I learned many years ago, I had a choice of how I could choose how to be in a bad situation. I didn’t always make the best choice, but I learned something from everyone of them. So in a sense, I guess they we’re all good choices.
The bottom line for me is how can I use this to better myself and others. Even when my son Wes died, I used this thought process. Yes, I grieved, I actually fell apart as one imagines with the loss of a child. However, that voice inside of me rose up and I listened to it.
We can all do this with every traumatic experience we go through. Ask yourself; how can I learn from this? How can I use it to be more capable? What is good in this moment?
Nothing is ever happening “to” you. That is a victim mindset that will always keep you hostage. Everything is happening “for” you. This is a powerful opportunity mindset that will set you free.
I would never have thought I could do what I did until I did it. Isn’t it always like that? We survive terrible experiences all the time. Let your traumas make you stronger, wiser, more profound in your life and then go out and see what more you can do because of it!
I chose to honor my sons life and my own because it offered purpose. This thought alone, leaves me feeling loved and loving.
I can walk you through your own process, give me a call and let’s chat! My life’s calling came to be, let yours do the same.
