What we have once enjoyed we can never lose;
All that we love deeply, becomes a part of us.-- Helen Keller
On the first of this month my daughters grandfather was in an automobile accident. He passed away from the injuries on April 9th. It was a very surreal time and still is. It was local and approximately one mile from his home. They say most accidents occur close to home and this came true for him. It seems strange with her grandfather having traveled all over the United States, to have had an accident so close to home.
A head on collision at normal speed claimed his life and the events through the whole process has been horrible. In the past I have dispatched for emergency assistance for over thirteen years and it is still hard to believe. How do you continue to try to find energy to keep moving through life when there is always something?
Everyone has something. We all deal with situations every day. I am relying on my own life coaching skills to get through these times. Even when we know what approach to take for healing it is still a struggle. Our way to deal with it is familiar with the quote from above.
By remembering the love that involved her grandfather is our way to get through. Thinking about him still being part of us and our family is a comfort. We take this with us each day and will continue to share the lessons in life with others.
Whatever your loss may be, whatever your sorrows are, remember that there is a purpose that this was put in your life and remember the positive and joyful things about it. Learn from any negativity or hardships that you endure. We are never alone with God's wind at our back.
Life can often be unexplainable and confusing but it is here for us. If your present in the world, make sure to BE PRESENT, in your moments of life. It can be taken gone at any moment. If you are still here then there is a reason for your presence. My daughter says that her grandfather has a new place to be present, but his memory was built for us to remember and connect with in our lives for now.
That brings me comfort...
Have a day that makes you appreciate everyone and everything. It is all here for a reason...
It is the artwork of life...
