Showing up …

Showing up …

Life goes on … A phrase my LH drilled into me in his last weeks, he knew his was nearing the end however was fully subscribed to the fact that life will & must go on for everyone left.

It seemed so harsh, brutal and laced with endings. The last act, where everything would come together & the curtain fall. However, no, the lesson of life going on, keeps coming.

Memories, the lasting effects of the times shared, the sentiments, hopes, plans … the shared life created & the most important projects in the form of our two children …. They do & must go on.

Show up to live, speak, be seen, heard & remembered … to bloom, despite the weather conditions. It may not be the perfect season.

We simply can’t hide from the lessons that our loss brings, life & death is never quite as it seems. Life will go on, our memories will be left for others to work with, craft & build on.

The legacy lives on. We show up to ensure life goes on knowing that the lessons will keep rolling in, act after act. 

Learn your lines, drill them in, subscribe to living with loss. Listening to lessons, living differently with the life that took a different direction.

The person left lives within us, they become our fire, a large part of our why. We speak & act for them, remembering the main line … life must go on.
