Letting go takes on new meaning when it is your own life that is letting go of you. I am watching a dear friend in that process right now. She is such a trooper and so strong, but this is taking her strength. At a time like this you would hope to have strong people around to help you through, to anticipate your needs etc. Or, at least I think it should be that way. But as I watch, her closest people are in disbelief and incapable of the strength she needs right now because of their grief. So she directs and almost carries them. It is hard for me to watch. I am outspoken I suppose, but not in this case. Here, what I can do is bring lightness, food, comfort, a little Reiki for brief in between times and gently nudge people to do things for her. It is surreal to me. I haven’t sorted out all the dynamics at play in these characters. The eternal question for me is always, “What is mine to do?”
Right now it seems to be food and smiles and honest communication in brief little vignettes. I hope it is enough.
