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.

You Just Never Know…..

Posted on

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
