Honoring the Death of a Loved One

Unfortunately, the sentiment “time heals all wounds” doesn’t really apply when it comes to grief. At least not for me, or my parents. Together, we live in a world that still contains my sister as the rest of it seems to forget.

Elizabeth Hetherington | "It’s all the love you want to give but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go."

The shape of grief

At some stage, after Elizabeth’s death, I was given a three-page pamphlet on ‘How to Cope with the Loss of a Sibling’.

I Heard Your Voice In The Wind Today

I heard your voice in the wind today
and I turned to see your face;
The warmth of the wind caressed me
as I stood silently in place.

Memento Mori

We can choose to meet death like a great opponent about to begin an epic sword fight. We grow in size by our ability to live life in its absolute fullness.

The shadow holds everything we reject and hate most about ourselves.
Keep on creating. No one sees the world like you do.
It's remarkable to witness a human being grow. I sometimes forget that she is a small human in its rawest form. Like all babies, she does not yet know the rules of society. She doesn't understand what is socially acceptable and what isn't. As adults we follow these rules of society diligently yet we find children so adorable and amusing because they have no regard for them. Funny, isn't it? I'm curious about what stage the conditioning sets in. It's a process that we all go through, but yet I'm pretty certain none of us can identify when exactly it happened. It also wasn't something we chose but rather something that happened to us.
