Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First

Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 282

Title:          This Will Change Your Attitude To Life - Must Read

Ten years ago this year my Father died after a 3 day "illness" and then just a year and some months later my Mother also died from a 2 hour "illness".

In the months that followed, I saw how my grief allowed me to pay attention to, and understand the power of, the act of letting go.

Wading through the grief and the mourning, I was at first simply unable to face the reality of the situation. Losing both of my Parents in a short space of 2 years, it was such a short time was incredibly difficult, and it took months to gather myself and truly recognize what had happened.

It wasn’t until I took a step back to appreciate all the time I did get to spend with them, to recognize the great memories, and the fortune of having known them, that I was able to let go of thinking that their deaths should not have happened.

I realized that their being gone was something I couldn’t control, and that thinking I could somehow control it was an idea that would pull me under if I kept clinging to it.

But once I let go of wishing I could somehow bring them back, I was able to find ways to honor the memories of my Parents and help them live on.

Ultimately, I have grown to appreciate that although death is an ending, it is also a necessary part of living.

And even though endings like these often seem ugly, they are necessary for beauty too—otherwise it’s impossible to appreciate someone or something, because they are unlimited.

Limits illuminate beauty, and death is the ultimate limit—a reminder that we need to be aware of this beautiful person, and appreciate this beautiful thing called life.

Death is also a beginning, because while we have lost someone special, this ending, like the loss of any wonderful life situation, is a moment of reinvention. Although deeply sad, their passing forces us to reinvent our lives, and in this reinvention is an opportunity to experience beauty in new, unseen ways and places.

And finally, death is an opportunity to celebrate a person’s life, and to be grateful for the beauty they showed us.

As human beings, we sometimes get used to the weight of grief and how it holds us in place. For instance, I often tell people, “My Parents will die over and over again for the rest of my life, and I’m okay with that—it keeps me closer to them.” This is my subtle way of reminding us all that grief doesn’t disappear, even when we let a person go.

Step by step, breath by breath, it becomes a part of us. And it can become a healthy part of us too.

Although we may never completely stop grieving, simply because we never stop loving the ones we’ve lost, we can lean on our love for them in the present. We can love them and emulate them by living with their magnificence as our daily inspiration.

Through this Motivational Platform - MorningVibes With Dr. Jerry - the First, I guide readers through this process of perspective change—and stepping forward through life's painful twists and turns.

You can take advantage of it if you find yourself in the woods of life

Truth be told, inner peace begins the moment you take a deep breath and choose not to allow an uncontrollable event to dominate you in the long-term.

You are not what happened to you.

You are what you choose to become in this moment.

Let go, breathe, and begin again...
