I think this applies to so many things in life too...
not just with death - but any loss. illness. life-changing events. trauma.
so often we rush to get back on track, when our mind is telling us slow down and breathe.
I've learned (especially in the last 5 years) how very important it is to breathe.
deep, long, calming, soul-resetting breaths.
I've learned to enjoy breathing so much. Isn't that a funny thing?
hehehe
You're telling me. LOL
Taking time to breathe calms everything. I wouldn't trade it. It's amazing how we believe that we can't move on or recover at the heat of the moment while all we actually need is time, and of course, taking that breath.
Life is no one's friends. No one has had it easy, not even when we believe that have.
