New Year, time to let go

As I sit and reflect on everything I went through just this year alone, it has been hard. I lost my mom, my father in law, my cousin, and I think I am still blessed. I am still blessed because of all the things I have learned and how grief created a space in time that nothing can ever fill. That space is forever etched in my mind as a time of pause.

I also learned how to gently approach others, not knowing full well what they have been through and how they are learning to let go or not. In all the pause for life and all it takes you through can seem at times so relentless that somewhere you get lost. I understand that for some, a pause seems more like a period, and for others, a comma. In all, there is a time to let go. There is a time to never forget, but to move forward in spite of. To hurt, cry, maybe even scream, but to grow and continue to flourish sometimes just taking a minute to remember, reflect, and be thankful.

There will be those times when a quiet moment will remind us of everything we loss this year, but try not to stay there too long. New Year, New Reason’s to See How Thankful You Can Be.
