This community is dedicated to those who have lost a husband, wife, or partner. Anything is open for discussion here, with the hope that we can focus on grief, bereavement, life after loss, and continuing on after a great loss.
Today's reflection from the funeral home that helped with the arrangements for Brad was perfect for me today. I have been very down lately so this really helped me look at something positive. I hope this helps and if not that is ok too. Everyone"s journey is different.
"Today is a day of reflection, a day to think about life where you have been, where you are today and what your future looks like. Today is a day to introspect and be thankful for all that you do have. Today is a day to look at the one you lost with a feeling of happiness that you had time with them and not of sadness that they are gone.
Today is the day that the mirror image of your life is a reflection of what was and what is to come."

Trying to figure out what this means is giving me a headache :)
I guess it's because I took too much physics in college and I don't see how a mirror can project something that is not there, lol.
Poetic license, I would guess - that is what they say when stuff is really deep but people like me can't figure it out :(
Having said all that, I am glad there are those of you who can understand it. I understood the part before that line, and becoming grateful for the time you did have can be difficult to attain.
