The Light Gap
DEEP & DIFFICULT Feelings…
DEEP & DIFFICULT Feelings…
Sometimes there ARE no words that simply arrive when we might need them most. When you’ve made the most difficult decision that you feel will EVER happen in your life…your heart breaks and it is wide open both for LOVE and grief. We’ve had some amazing support from all of my family from our three sons and their families to brothers and sisters on both sides of the family, to dear friends that are ALWAYS there for both of us. As my heart broke wide open, there were my healing friends ready to help support me through this journey.
HOSPICE of Holland has come into our life and while it is a very difficult transition, they are so often the angels that arrive in our lives sent by the world beyond. God, Jesus, our guides, those in our lives who have already moved into the EverLife come to my mind each and every morning as I try to do my yoga and meditation. I try very hard to be grateful for ALL of those in my life who are here in this life on earth to help me in some incredible ways. Sometimes my meditations are cut off and way too short…that’s when I remember the short beautiful prayer that originated in Hawaii from our ancestors.
Hawaiian Ho’oponopono Prayer
I love you.
I’m sorry.
Please Forgive me.
Thank you.
I’ll have to admit, I often add words of gratitude for ALL the people who have come to help and support my life right now. The LIGHT of LOVE is totally incredible.
Last week as I began this journey with Hospice, I simply had no time to write or even THINK. So, I’m sure you noticed I was very absent last week with any blog post. Marj was gone too and so we simply lifted the thought of writing. Then she stopped by to visit us…so beautiful. But, I want all of you to know that sometimes, writing is my go to place to heal something living within me. So, I plan to keep up the practice as long as I am able. But, if on a given week.. a post does not show up, you might know that my heart is there to write, but the physical piece of being the CARE GIVER along with Hospice can be a very difficult and time consuming job.
So for today I leave you with some absolutely beautiful words that were sent to me by a very special Reconnective Healing friend for life. I’m including the words because for YOU, when life hits in unexpected places…you might be able to absorb them in your own life. I am leaving out the personal messages, but I think these words are very special for ALL of us.
“There are moments in life where everything we understand and everything we believe, are both present at the same time. The knowing of something greater and the very real ache of loving someone in the human body…nothing about this moment is outside of that love. You do not have to be strong in any particular way right now. You get to feel exactly what is here, moment by moment. Even in the midst of this, there is a kind of presence that surrounds you..in the quiet moments. In the spaces between decisions. In the way support continues to show up around you. You are held, more than it may feel at times. Doug is held as well. There is something very sacred in choosing care this way in allowing support. In being with him exactly where he is. Take this one breath at a time. One moment at a time.” ~ Lexi
There were so many more words of personal love and support that I choose to leave out. If you ever have a person in your life that needs to hear these words…YOU can be that love and support that allows LOVE to FLOW as it was meant to be from God. YOU can be the ACT of Peace in someone’s life.
What a wise and wonderful friend you have in Lexi! Her words are so beautiful she must be an angel.
Your words are beautiful too, Terry. You draw so many people to you with your courage and wisdom. God is holding you up with omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotence.
