There are times in life when there is a final chapter, a final walk, a final visit and even a final breath. Although many of these events are met with dread, sometimes there is the hope that something lies beyond, before and within the future of the one who experiences such events. Waiting in anticipation of such circumstances can be worse on the mind than when the final moment arrives, and once it does, relief is at hand. Oh, there may be a time of grief or a time of sadness, but generally once the moment has passed, healing begins. But oh the torture of waiting til the last breath.
It is indeed good to go through the emotions of the time. Experience the sadness. Walk through the tears. Reflect on the memories, and allow the other emotions to crest and fall like waves on the ocean shore. Blocking these feelings will only repress and push a person into unexplainable depression. Sometimes there is even a desire to abandon, be recluse and hermit oneself away from everything and everyone. Push past that desire, and engage in community. Learn to live with the memories and place them in an invisible backpack that will help toward motivation for future living.
The regretful part of living can be that there are regrets, but the person who learns to live with, learn from, and utilize regrets will be more than ready for when the final and last breath comes to any situation or circumstance they meet.
Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
