Ever Precious Moments of Grief

Life lessons from times of grieving

Getting ready for my day this morning I had an overwhelming sense that today would be my last day alive. It was a surprisingly strange thought I don’t recall having had before. And, all in a breath I was at peace with the idea and sad to have to say goodbye to my husband, cats, family, friends and end what it seems I’ve just started. It felt very real.

Then I realized as my tears were flowing, that today is the last time six months ago that I really saw my dad alive–yes, I was there for a couple of hours before he took his last breath but he could not respond back to me on his very last day here on earth. I certainly never imagined six months ago I would never be able see him again when I left him in good health and care with my mom and sister all jolly to be home after his surgery.

What grief teaches us

We just don’t know which moment will be our last or the last of those we treasure in our lives. This reality has allowed me to pause in the moments of this very day to take stock and appreciate and savor all that I have been given.

What can you take stock of in this very precious moment in your life?
