Grief and beyond
life is and how important it is to savour it daily. One way to enjoy life is to spend time with our loved ones and with people who matter to us and to whom we matter.
Often, in our busy lives, we tend to put personal things like spending time with our parents and children for a later date. Until the inevitability of time shakes us out of our reverie. Grief helps find a solution and figure out a way to deal with the loss. It enables us to handle sorrow and go through the routine and the days that follow until the angst and melancholy become memories.
We tend to procrastinate, and when it comes to making time for our family, most of us keep it for another day, much like going to the gym. The busy schedules, incessant meetings and travel create a whirlpool of work pressure that sucks us in.
Till a tragic happening reminds us of time lost and the irreversibility of it. We can treat each day as precious and finish the tasks assigned for that day, professional and personal. While no 'carved in stone' playbook exists, 'now' is the best time to make the bucket list of our life goals and embark on that journey.
The best thing is that we can start on that journey right now without any delay. We can only hold on to our precious memories of the departed. One does not recover from grief but learns to find a place for it within.
