Present Misery, Future Hope

Think we all have known, at some point or another, what it feels like to lose someone you love -- or doing the right thing in letting someone go.

Going through the grieving process takes time. Takes energy. Takes pain. Courage to Feel The Pain in order to move on.

That's my reflection for today as I feel my present pain. I thought I could cope with "living in between", but you can't have your cake and eat it too. It's not possible. Strings have to be cut; letting go is the loving thing to do.

Like my galpal Gloria says, better it is "present misery for future hope" than to settle for "present relief for future pain".

Wise words. Thanks for that, my friend. I sure needed the reminder today.
