Dear Reader,

This is a continuation of the previous 3 posts on “Do you believe in life after loss?” If you have read the previous posts, I would like to expand on the three weeks that I decided to take off work as part of my leave of absence and the events that happened during that time.

A little back story for you. When I was a child growing up mom was very religious. Now I will make this statement, I am not here to push anything on anyone. I merely want to help set the stage for the rest of the post, everyone in my opinion has the right to choose in whatever higher power or not for themselves to believe or not to believe. So as I was saying, Mom was very religious, and her lot in life was to spread the word of God to many people. She would always explain to me things about the Bible, the common stories that I am sure a lot of us on this beautiful planet know about in some form or another. But the key thing I remember from this time in growing up is how “God works in mysterious ways.” This is the key for this post and something Mom said quite often.

Dear reader,

This is the second part of of the previous post of “Do you believe in life after loss?” Where I asked the question and answered it with a “Yes.” From my own personal experiences with losses in life, the largest loss being the passing of my father, which has made me feel like an orphan and wondering how in the world would I make it. Mom was the first to pass and Dad 15 years later. What I do know is that for about a year after my father passed I was “ok.” That’s what I can see now looking back on all of the events that have transpired. However I now also see that I didn’t take the time I needed for myself to allow all the waves of feelings and emotions to pass out of me. There was MORE than a lot of hurt. I understand that it is life and this is a destiny for all of us at some point or another.
