The storm that you’re in will toss you around.
It will throw your life out of kilter.
It will leave you discombobulated.
It will distract you from what is good in the world.
It will make everything seem out of control.
It will mess up your hair.
It will block the sun.
And thankfully, it will end.
When it does, you will be stronger.
More resilient.
Better prepared for the next storm.
The storm that you’re in is an incredible inconvenience.
And an amazing teacher.
Don’t lose sight of that.
It's been 2 weeks since my mother passed, and I find many people whom are close to me asking me how I am doing, how I am feeling and if I am coping, and though I often find myself responding: "Yes I am fine" or "Yes, I am hanging in there" or "Yes, I am trying to keep it together", the truth is I am not, I actually don't know what I am feeling, I cannot translate it into words I cannot compare it to anything, I feel like I have lost Everything and life just really seems and feels so irrelevant and meaningless you really cannot relate unless you are going through the same thing or have been through the same thing. I often find myself wondering how I will ever get out of this space, how I will ever view life the way I used to? A friend who has experienced exactly what I am going through now mailed me this piece which I believe is from the Better Life Coaching Blog by Darren Poke and the first 7 lines are a direct translation of how I feel and what I am going through, but what I absolutely love about it, is the assurance and promise that it gives that it will end, and that when it does you'll be a completely new or better person, that it will get better, and that is exactly why I decided to share it with you all.
