Many people have grieved the death of someone by the time they are 30 years old. The people left behind always feel a need to honor the deceased in some grand fashion. However, tattoo’s, window decals, and buildings do not heal the pain that is digging away at your heart. We all walk around with a big “In Memory of” sign written across our life. Instead of living to make ourselves proud we now develop a life to make the deceased proud, and since he or she is not there to validate our accomplishments anymore we never feel that sense of accomplishment or pride. How does someone who has lost someone live a life that is not defined by giving death meaning?
Answer. You choose it. The only way to let go of the expectations of the dead is to develop your own and not apologize for them. You are worth living your own life and not feeling like you are letting someone down everytime something goes wrong. I hope that everyone is able to honor the memory of the deceased without giving up your life in the process. LIVE
