DEATH IS A PART OF LIFE…

Posted on Updated on

There will be times that you feel life is completely unfair, your faith will be tested and you will question God. As you get older you will start losing friends and family members at an alarming rate, this is the reality of life. Are you being challenged and trying desperately ttearso cope with the loss of a friend or family members death. Are you feeling overwhelmed by the loss of so many friends recently that are seemingly passing away each and every week? Losing people you were once close to is never going to be easy. There is a grieving process you will inevitably undergo. Keeping your own sense of calm and maintaining your friend’s memory are important elements of the grieving process. Accept that this is going to be a very hard, difficult and trying time in your life, but be reassured by a clear and rational understanding that you will get through this. That the best way to honour your friend is to keep their memory alive in your heart always. Allow yourself to cry and feel sad. Don’t let anyone tell you how long you should feel this way, everyone is different and handles things differently in their own special way and time, but it is going to be painful at best no matter what. Remember that it’s a pain that must simply be endured like a broken foot. There are things you can do to alleviate the pain for a little while, but it will eventually hurt again, until it fully heals. Believe it or not, as painful as this loss may seem, it will fully heal in time with a little time, patience and understanding. All we can do in the meanwhile, is try to be caring, compassionate, gentler, kinder, loving human beings in a world that all too often forgets. Life is short, share kindness with one another.

GRIEF AND STAYING STRONG

Posted on Updated on

When dealing with a terminal illness of someone close to you, we must remain strong, keep positive and remain optimistic not just for them but for ourselves and never let our loved ones know the true sadness, the anxiety and stress this is causing us or the fear and worry we may be feeling. We must keep their spirits high at all costs and not let our own feelings WATERFALLget in the way no matter how devastated and overwhelmed we may be feeling. When death is inevitable, we may feel alone, have nowhere to turn, feel useless and not know how to react. This is a time to celebrate their lives, to keep their hope and faith alive and never show anger, disappointment, bitterness and resentment in what is happening. All we can do is pray for them, stay brave for them and have faith that God will do whatever necessary to protect and save them from whatever fate is dealt. Never forget, with God by your side, you are never alone and neither are they. I understand your journey, as I have been down this path so many, many times before. I love you ♡ David Harrison Levi Beverly Hills, CA

You Just Never Know…..

Oftentimes, we tend to believe that others in our lives and those we meet must be pretty happy, content and satisfied with their lives. We see them from the outside and unless they confide in us, we don’t really know them, do we? What we fail to realize, is that every one of us with no exception is fighting a battle big or small, we know nothing about. There are many that struggle daily with terminal illness and a great number of health issues, all forms of cancer, depression & bipolar, trying to get through another day fighting alcoholism and drug abuse, putting an end to their smoking, are challenged by their own disabilities and handicaps, dealing with anxiety and stress, fear and worry over the loss of a loved one, a divorce, a death, homelessness, hardship by financial burdens and great responsibility from the care of an elderly parent to the responsibilities of a young child as a single parent. They smile, they are positive and optimistic in spite of it all, rarely giving others an opportunity to see what’s really going on or even a hint that something is wrong. Never look down on anyone, unless you’re willing to lift them up. Be kind to everyone you meet and remember to always have a great respect for those who have every reason to complain and don’t! I salute you! I love you ♡ David Harrison Levi Beverly Hills, CA

Perseverance

Giving up has never been an option. And no matter how difficult, frustrating and overwhelming life may get, at some point you have to get up and at least try to continue on with your life. Becoming stuck in a rut serves no one … You have to find your own inner strength, your courage, your faith and move on from the challenges, hardship, struggles, setbacks, roadblocks, mistakes and failures and stop feeling sorry for yourself and the guilt that plagues you. Your life has purpose and serves as a testament to the strength you possess. You have never been a quitter, don’t start now! I love you ♡ David Harrison Levi Beverly Hills, CA

Strength Through Adversity

Posted on Updated on

Many believe that love hurts, but that is so far from the truth. Losing someone close to us hurts. Feeling abandoned, left and alone hurts. The rejection from others hurts. The feelings of guilt we so often feel, hurts. The loneliness we suddenly feel hurts. A break up in a marriage hurts. A divorce hurts. A relationship gone wrong hurts. All too often, people confuse hurt with love. But in reality, it’s love that covers up all the pain and suffering and makes us feel whole and wonderful again. You will never be brave, if you don’t get hurt, you will never learn if you don’t make mistakes and you will never be successful, if you don’t encounter some form of failure. To stop the hurt, we have to believe that something greater, more powerful, true and everlasting is coming our way and be ready to love again. This is a time to have faith in God, keep an open heart and let life take care of itself. Always believe that something wonderful is about to happen! I love you ♡ David Harrison Levi

Life has a way of teaching us wonderful lessons, of being humble, caring, compassionate and kind and living a life of gratitude, feeling blessed and thankful for all you have. As you grow up, get older and start to see the world as it truly is, you will soon learn that even the one person you never thought would let you down, will in some small way hurt you. You will more than likely have your heart broken at least once when you thought it impossible. You too will inevitably break some hearts, so remember how it felt when yours was broken, be gentle. You’ll occasionally argue with your closest friends and family members, this is to be expected, never hold a grudge. You’ll find blame in new loves for things an old one did. You’ll be angry, bitter and resentful, but don’t be, be forgiving. You’ll sometimes cry because time is passing way too fast and you will lose someone you never thought you could live without. But remember to keep them close in your heart, because of the love once shared. Your faith in God will be tested by the challenges and obstacles you encounter, but this is the time to strengthen your faith. You will see a hungry and homeless man or woman on the street, show goodness, for the smallest and most insignificant act of kindness can change their day, remember this could be you. This is what happens when you open your heart and mind to the greatest joys life has to offer. I love you ♡ David Harrison Levi
