*If you have read my previous posts, you know how I feel about Tom Zuba’s books. The post below is an excerpt from Permission to Mourn.
MOVING WITH
When someone we love dies
most of the world “moves on”
very quickly.
Very, very quickly.
For those in the center of the storm
there is no moving on.
I believe we can learn to move with.
We can move with.
We can learn to take our beloveds with us.
Remember to be gentle with you.
Be gentle.
Even when
especially when
the world is not.
Be gentle with you.
“When your life has been shattered
in millions of pieces
you need to take it slow.
So be gentle
with yourself.
Be very
very
gentle.
Rest when you must.
I firmly believe that for many of us
if we were able to take in
really take in
the enormity of what has happened to us
we would not be able to live.
Literally.
I believe our bodies would shut down.
Our minds would turn off.
Our spirits would take flight.
Our new reality is simply too much to take in all at once.
So
we take it in
little-by-little
detail-by-detail.
Over time.
Lots of time.
And in time
(lots of it)
in small doses
our new reality begins to sink in.
Someone you love
dearly
has died.
Your life has changed.
Forever.
Many of your dreams have been shattered.
And for now
the best you can do is hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.”
Remember to be gentle with you.
Really
really
really gentle.
I don’t think we move on.
But I do believe we can learn
to move with.
We can bring our beloveds with us.
Are you learning to MOVE WITH?
If so
what has helped you do so?
💛💛💛
