Once a very hard Question was asked by Anonymous to me, that “Have you ever lost a loved one?” this Question stops my heart beats for a moment. But with a very tough heart I said, “I have”, and ofcourse it hurts in many ways as all of us know how it is difficult to answer it. With another Memorial Day soon to arrive, it’s time to ask the burning question, “Are we truly prepared?” Many of us do get caught flat-footed. We have that temptation to avoid unpleasant things. We wish to ourselves, if we do not dwell on them, they just might go away. That is called “magical thinking” and it rarely comes to pass. Whom are we fooling…but ourselves?
Indeed, all of life involves trade-off of gain and loss. But as we age, we tend to focus more on the “loss” part. If we get fixated on that, we cook our own proverbial goose. Death represents transition. We need to recognize that stagnancy can mistake for “security”. How many of us fall into that mirage? It’s a made-to-order TRAP! Whenever a loved one leaves us, it’s also an opportunity to: (a) take stock of who we really are, and (b) decide for ourselves where we are heading. If the answer comes up discomforting, we need to find the courage to change ofcourse. Sometimes we have climbed into a cozy cocoon. It’s called Co-dependency. We have really taken our old navel cord and attached it to our mate. In so doing, we find our nurture needs met but…we also foster a looming crisis. For if we choose to get caught up in dependency, than loss of Person whom we loves so much means devastation.
As in this situation people generally thinks and ask me, “How we were going to ever live again”. But the TRUTH in which I believe or rather I have experience is that LIFE goes on whether we want it or not. The world keeps turning on no matter how bad we feel. This is why we have to learn how to bounce back and keep moving forward.
Love is a wonderful thing. It’s something that every human being needs and yearns to find at sometime in
their Lifetime. Some people are lucky enough to hold onto it while others have it slip through their fingers. Love is the universal symbol that makes us all human. We all know what it means have felt it at one time or another and are always seeking it out. It’s the one thing worth fighting for and the one thing worth dying for.
I always believe one thing in my LIFE that I could never be in LOVE but I also gave my heart away, I also took that leap of faith, I also jumped in head first and however I want to put it or not but I fell in Love. But now it’s GONE. Some other outside force pulled him apart from me and it’s all over all of sudden. It was the situation where I have found myself trying to hide in the bottom of a bowel of ice – cream or have acquired a large pile of tissues or however a deal with heart ache, but I take it as a “MY WAKE UP CALL”. Today is the day where I have to turn around… as it was like a Message from GOD saying that now I have to WAKE UP and move to my path where still I have to struggle and still so many responsibilities to head up.
It’s been said a million times but today it’s time to implement truly that I am always surrounded by people who love me. Whether it’s family or friends or anyone in between, there is at least one person on the planet who loves me and cares about me. These are the people who need me to start spending more time with and also will be more than happy to reassure me of how wonderful my LIFE is without my Love one whom I have lost.
I know what I have lost, because what I have lost was not only my Loved one but was my FRIEND and the finest person I have ever met in my Life and it’s my Privilege that I was loved by the Person like him. Not only his PRESENCE but his ABSENCE also teaches me so many things and his sudden pass out among us TAUGHT me a LIFE TIME LESSON i.e. how to live a LIFE, how to TRUST ourselves and how to ACCEPT the HARD REALITY of the LIFE.
I am very HAPPY and THANKFUL TO GOD that he gives me those feelings and allows me to enjoy the best moments in LOVE. If I would have been never fall in LOVE, I would have never known true happiness and I would never understand what pain really is until I have lost it. Yes, the loss shall still hurt but not as much. I will emerge as a stronger person with fuller potential. I will not bury myself in the grave of my own making. Like the Phoenix Bird of ancient myth, I will rise from those ashes, and find a new flight path before the angels call me my home one day.
LIFE TIME THOUGHT FOR THE PERSON WHO DOES NOT EXIST IN THIS WORLD BUT STILL EXIST IN MY WORLD…“Who knows how long I’ve loved you, You know I love you still. Will I wait a lonely lifetime? If you want me .. I will”
Note: This post is dedicated to Romit. Reason being after few days of regular talking & chatting with his cousin Reehan. I have realized that i should again start writing as Romit always want me to write. My basic grammar in English is subhan aalah as you all know. Each time I re-read the article I felt it’s correct. Still, I felt something missing somewhere (I even didn’t know it was spell and grammar thing) .Hence I asked Shreya to see into it… she helped me with it… Thanx Shreya & Reehan.
