Since the day we were born, all of us are destined to die. As you draw into old age, you may wish to review your life and all of its ups and downs. Or you may decide to do this at an earlier time in your life. Here is some guidance you may like to consider.
Perhaps the hardest farewell is when someone knows they are terminally ill.
When I am ill, I always say to myself – never mind, you will feel a little better tomorrow. How hard it must be to know it will not be the case for you and yet still enjoy life. Some people do manage this hardest of tasks. Perhaps they have learnt or found the wisdom, it is not about the quantity of life but rather the quality of it.
Did I do my best with my life?
When my dad was terminally ill, he took the time and energy left to him to express his love for us by making his dying the easiest he could for us.
Gratitude for the life you have enjoyed, including the good and not so good elements, seems to go a long way in making the effort of being born and living a life more worthwhile.
I am learning;
Endings are a prelude to new beginnings.
When my husband died young, I was jolted into a new beginning. I didn’t find it easy but I learnt so much about myself, how other people behave and the importance of caring for one another. It has made me less judgmental and a more compassionate and loving person. My husband was a generous man to enable me to gain the richness of this learning.
Thank you.
