Living Life While Mindful of Death
Living Life While Mindful of Death This year I have faced death many times. I have lost people I love. People I love have lost people they love. People in my AA circle have passed away. My childhood lifelong friend lost her two daughters. And, the loss that had the biggest impact on me was the loss of my mother. It was unexpected and devastating to me. I thought I had more time with her. Even though I knew that anyone can die at any time, I still thought I had more time with her. This event has had a significant impact on my life. Since the loss of my mother, I have moved. I cleaned out my house. I am working part time and going to school to help to figure out the next move. I share a room now. I am on a journey. I am doing the next right thing every day with purpose. I was living a life on a hamster wheel, because I couldn’t see any other way....
