Day 5 of Day 12 of My 2021 Journey: Lessons and Reflections

• Receiving a surprise bouquet of flowers for Valentine’s Day felt amazing
• Witnessing the death of my oldest brother was devasting and heart wrenching. At that moment what did I feel? I felt that it was over. I felt that it was his will because he was suffering tremendously. Lesson: His will, the will of the person ill, be done and not my will.
• Grief can severely affect others to the point it becomes unhealthy. It becomes an obsession. It’s best to go to grief counseling if it gets to this point.
• While we all experience grief in different ways, the burden is easier to carry when you understand death. We are spirits. We are not our bodies.
