Designed to feel

Grief is something our culture seems to struggle with.

Why can’t we talk about it with each other?

I have never felt a human emotion so strong as I have with losing someone during these super weird times. Not being able to share an embrace over the lose of a loved one when your heart feels like its actually breaking into a million pieces inside your chest, beyond pains you. We are designed to feel and I believe it actually feels good to know we can, even in the dark times. I realize I may be one of the few who is able to see light when there is nothing but darkness but it is hard not to appreciate life on a new level when you watched one end.

The air smells fresher.

The greenery look brighter.

The birds sounds sweeter.

Having the privilege to witness a life fully lived with so much appreciation and gratitude, up until the last day, has been the most awakening event. Today and everyday, I feel so immensely blessed to call Canada my home and to witness the beauty this land has to offer me. In the days to come when I experience darkness I will try to embrace it and see the beauty that has risen from an ending.
