When I was in the depths of anguish and grief over the loss of years of my life, I honestly felt for the longest time like I was just waiting for something to change. Some sign that it was all over.

A good friend of mine said at the time – Well, this is the time when you need to be quiet and take care of yourself. And not have to be social or do anything you don’t want to do. And that’s okay…

To some extent that’s exactly how I dealt with it. Almost like a splinter in my finger, one I didn’t dare pull out for a while because of the pain. But then the pain of leaving it in eventually became less than the need to remove it. Not that removing it didn’t hurt – it did very much – but it was the action that was needed at that time. Maybe I could’ve done it sooner. But then, maybe I couldn’t have.

There’s a time for everything and sometimes, its just time to grieve. But eventually, oh yes, eventually its time to come up for fresh air again and see the world with our newly healed wounds and be okay with that.

Namaste
