My heart goes out to your brother, to you and your extended family for the loss

of your nephew Diamond. I am certain one  of the gifts he has brought to all of

you is the brilliance he has left upon the flesh of each of your bodies and the

indelible mark upon your hearts. In his absence he has created a pathway that

has the propensity to ease your journeys, to lessen the tumult that often

impedes our growth

 

Death is never an easy event for us to deal with but I often think how we are

invited to look with a discerning eye, with a magnified lens for the detail, the

dust particles to see the fantastic gift one has left in their passing.  And

there is a knowing some where deep inside of us when someone is young how

a magnificent a gift they were and are now in their absence. Yet they are here,

we can call upon them if we choose.

 

Our sadness is usually tethered to our own expectations of what might have been,

of what we should have said or done, what might have become in some future

time.but in this process we are invited to grieve, to experience our emotional

bodies, to feel the dept of love we hold but to not overlook all that has

been given.

 

The gifts are endless, they are enough to fill a forest, one brimming with life

that one walks through never noticing the abundance calling out to us. It is a

world teaming with flora and fauna to overload our sensory system. It sits there

patiently with resources to harvest, with tools to open the undiscovered gifts

and most importantly the opportunity to feel the love that rustles through the

trees like balmy evening breeze. It washes over our skin but often unnoticed yet

we breath it in filling our being.

 

And are we not part of the life teaming in this forest, the trees, the bush, and

the beautiful flowers, wild white roses dotting the fields. Area each of not us

blooming, unfolding a single velvet textured petal at a time. Here to share our

intoxicating fragrance and our magnificent brilliance.

 

As you move through the stages of grief they will lead you to this sacred place

in your heart, of gratitude,of reverence for this relationship and it will be

coupled to the multitude of gifts you have gleaned from this time. Take

care.
