Ever have that moment when you think everything around you is falling apart? Like there's not one more thing that can go wrong or your heart hurt any more? Sometimes it's hard to see past what we are being faced with and see a light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes we don't know if we can get out of the bed or if it's worth it or even safe enough to do so. Facing a death, a breakup, abuse, failing at something you've worked at for so long, getting passed over for a promotion, or loosing a friend isn't easy and no one should take the gift of grieving away from you. Having the ability and opportunity to grieve is so important and gives you the strength to move on. There is a part of us that can never truly move on until we have allowed ourselves to be sad about what you have lost.
I don't know your life and I will never act or assume that I do, but I do know my life and how within every situation I have been faced with it, good has happened. The process of falling apart to help something fall into place is never enjoyable. It's quite painful in fact. Sometimes it's not until years later that you even know why some of the things happened in your life. My life has been full of ups and downs, times of sheer joy and others of pure terror and brokenheartedness. But through it all I knew there had to be a purpose and that it was for a greater good.
Today if you are facing something difficult, take your time to mourn; if you have mourned my hope for you is that you see where things fell into place; and if you are lighthearted and face nothing but sunshine, count your blessings and don't let anyone take away your smile or feel bad for doing well.
Until we meet again...
