That’s a beautiful reflection by you. It seems you have beautifully absorbed and understood to the t what I have tried to express and convey through the blog.

Thank you for sharing you deep reflections. Much love and gratitude.

Hi Swapnadeep

The blog isn’t about accepting death of someone or making peace with loss.

It is trying to highlight certain other facets which death or deep loss often churns within us.

It is trying to highlight how we don’t live our true journey because of following the herd, because we feel unsure about the self or we don’t know what we want or we want to be accepted and loved. Or we don’t have the courage to BE who we are. Or, in the process of living, certain other things take priority.

Then one day, poof, we are gone WITHOUT living the life we were here to live and be.

The blog encourages myself and the readers to live life fully with courage as chosen by the soul so that when we die, we leave behind our imprints which inspire others.

I encourage you to re-read the blog again and introspect on the biggest loss – loss of self.

Much love.

Beautiful reflection Sunita, thank you for sharing.

Hi Neelam ☺️,

Loved reading your blog and yes, it did make gona bit deeper and think of certain deeper facets of life.

Well, we would always want our loved ones to be physically around us always but then life does come to an end at a certain time for all individuals and we can’t help it. No matter what, we do have to accept it.

However, what’s more important is to maybe try and make attempts to LIVE to the fullest, as much as possible. Then maybe, when we look back in our later years, we will be more at peace with the thought that I did live up certain moments which meant a lot to me.

This piece touched something raw within me.It reminded me how easily we die while still breathing —when we forget who we are beneath all that we do.And how beautiful it is to return,to meet ourselves again, fully alive

I feel you Lipi. My friend passed away recently leaving me with these questions and food for thought. Thank you for reading and sharing your reflections.

Thank you Neela for your kind words. Would love to see what answers open up for you if you were to journal around these questions.

Sending love and praying that you find courage to sit with your grief and loss. Grief indeed is a doorway. Hope you open the door and enter.
