We all face a moment in our life when what we believe is put to the test. Some of you reading this already know that this has been a trying time for me. I haven’t written about this before because honestly I did not know how to. When things really bother me I pull into myself and often keep busy as a way to cope. Mostly I process things in the quiet space of my gently falling apart world until it feels like my world is ready to put itself back together and then one day I face whatever it is I need to face and I am ready to talk about it. My father suffered a severe, hemoragghic stroke that in all probability should have been fatal, but by the grace of God he survived. Now he is on what will be a long road to recovery fueled by love. To say that I’ve been sad is not nearly enough. I’ve been overwhelmed by the intense uphill battle that his recovery will be, mourning the loss of what our lives once were. I’ve cried, been anxious, dropped from exhaustion and wanted to dream it all away. But it’s not about me right now, it’s about what my Dad needs from me in order to help him heal. I haven’t been ready to share until maybe now, but the more I talk about it the more I actually feel connected and think that sharing might be part of the healing. I spoke with someone recently whose father died of a stroke suddenly with no warning. My father is still alive which tells me that he’s here to learn something before he goes, that he’s here to teach us something before he goes or maybe both. Nearly 1 million people in the US alone suffer from a stroke each year so I am not alone in the experience. Every single one of us will most likely face the loss of our parents at some point in our lives. As the Buddha says, suffering is. It is how we respond to suffering that makes us yogis in the world. One thing that I've learned is that there is no right way to deal with grief. Some people feel it right away, some people never get over it, some people run from it until they're ready. Eventually even the toughest times bring us all closer to the seed of awakening and wisdom that comes from an open, strong heart and that carries us through whatever hardship we face with wings of faith.
