Alive & Thriving Chooseday Thoughts : How Do You Heal from Losing Loved Ones? || AATYr6 || Prompt A Day 😊

Happy Chooseday 🎉 I know it's that day of the week when I should choose happy always 😊 I do. I can't complain with the blessings in my life. Deep within though I know I'm not perfectly okay. I do wonder how does one heal from losing loved ones? I'm not just talking about Mom but also furbabies over the years. They say time heals all wounds. It's not that I do not believe that, yet the pain in still there. I think it's the finality in saying good-bye -- at least from this plane of existence. Perhaps it's time to change my mindset and think of it not as good-bye but as see you again some time, somewhere, maybe in another world. 😢 Funny, they say what doesn't kill you, strengthens you. In all honesty, I think one day all these heartaches and pain will kill me. 😅 I say that lightly but it's the truth. Maybe one day my heart will just give way. Not just yet. Perhaps I still have something that I need to do. 🤔 For now, I ask the universe to make it make sense. 🙏❤️💡

Weeee look at my Sunday steps. That was when I went to do my grocery shopping. DALI grocery is located some 350 meters from my place. That's around five minutes away -- It takes me a little longer as I walk slowly with a cane. It's a manageable distance I'd say. I think my daily walks also help as it's like I'm training myself to consistently walk. Time was when I'd skip my evening walk when I headed out earlier in the day. Not last Sunday. I went on my usual walk as I did get some rest from the time I came home. 😊 I count that as another mini victory. 🙌 Next time around, I'd try and walk to the neighborhood mall to save on the costly transport fee. 😅 That's been added on my goal list. 💪

I'd say it's more deeply felt when it's coming from the heart. Not only that I also believe it is longer lasting. It helps me develop a deeper appreciation for the beauty of life. I think in some ways this helps me feel less lonely since a lot of good memories are heartfelt. As for heartaches and pain, I try to store them somewhere else, not in my heart and not in my mind. I do a lot of journaling so I suppose it helps. Writing has been very good therapy for me. 🙏❤️💡
