How do you prepare yourself to say goodbye? The older I get, the rougher losing someone becomes. Maybe because when we are young we do not truly comprehend letting go. Maybe being older, death only reminds me more of my mortality. I'm struggling. To suddenly learn that a favorite relative has a terminal illness has me feeling swallowed by a heaviness I can't seem to escape. I don't want to allow myself to fully feel the relaity because I'm not sure I can bear the fullness of it all at once. Why is life so short for some? I do believe in more after this life, but losing someone from this life is still hard. It has made me realize that I might need to take a deep look into my own life and make sure I am living fully. We must live life deeply and authentically because we are not guaranteed a long life, only a full one.
