Hello TNT Family,
I know I have been absent for a while and for good reason. We had a unexpected death in the family and my hubby and children have all been sick for the last two weeks. It has been really tough around here trying to mourn the lost of a loved one and then I am running from hubby to kids to take care of everyone all at the same time.
I didn’t feel in the mood to blog, because it was and still is a difficult time and viral cold symptoms just added to an already stressful situation. We are still at the end of the cold/viral symptoms (cough/phlemgh) and I am trying to help everyone get well again. I needed air and lots of it!
I want to take a moment to talk about grief and losing a loved one, especially if it was unexpected. Life is too short to remain angry and hold grudges against anyone, because you just never know when your time or their time will end. Walk in forgiveness and reach out to those family members you haven’t spoken to in a long time. This is your chance to get it right before it is too late. All of you out there and you know who I’m talking to, pick up the phone, write a letter, send an email, anything-just reach out to those long, lost family members and friends that you haven’t seen or spoken to in a long time.
Yes, it might hurt and you might be angry and everything within you says don’t call (don’t listen, you will feel much better and a heavy burden will be lifted), just do it! It is much easier to deal with past hurts and unresolved issues when the person is still moving and breathing. Start a dialogue!
Be the bigger person, it will be too late to say sorry once they are gone. You can start by saying: I was hurt when you (said this to me or did this to me, what you did impacted me this way, I am upset or angry with you because of …) and let the conversation flow from there. Take ownership of your emotions and you leave the ball in their court, during this process you are lifted the weight of the world from your emotional storehouse. Now it is the other persons time to deal with the damage and hurt and anger they have caused you. Let the healing begin!
Thank you for reading and I appreciate your patience, even though you may not have known what was going on. Let me know your thoughts or if this post helped you in any way.
Be Blessed,
The Tickled Diva
