There's a yin-yang in us all

Loss is a pain and soul wrenching anguish that I hope you never feel. But if you ever do, don’t fall on the ground asking why? Why me? Why now? Why them? You may feel like a dark cloud is looming over you and that you won’t ever be happy again. How can you be? Stand up and learn, find your happy place, and know that it is okay to break down and cry. Don’t let your loss go unremembered, make them proud of who you have become, because of them and because they lived. They are here with you watching, helping.

One day you will feel joy.

It may start when you overhear a small child say in a grocery store, “Mommy, I seem to have a terrible cough” and the corners of your mouth slightly turn up. And then the door creaks open for you to leave the pain and grief behind and enter into a new corridor of your life.
