I need a boat

I needed a boat

to keep me afloat

When the waves of grief threatened to upend me and send me spiralling downwards

into the darkness below the surface.

So I built one,

with all the beautiful thoughts and

memories of you.

With all of your unique and funny ways.

With all you stood for and stood up for,

in your short life on earth.

And after a while,

I realised you were building it alongside me,

with all your devotion, strength and dedication…

with all your love for me.

I cherish the boat we built together.

It keeps me afloat

when the waves of grief come rolling in.

Those who try to

This is for everyone who tries.

Who tries to learn, tries to grow, tries to respond kindly and wisely, tries to recognize their own issues instead of blaming everyone else.

This is for everyone who tries to be their best even when they’re not feeling their best.

I see you. I appreciate you.

And I hope you know you make the world a better place, just by being you ..

Don’t feed the parental Alienator – Charlie McCarthy

When alienated parents react and become outraged, and heartbroken by the loss of their child and the injustice they face, it’s perfectly understandable, and natural. However, continually dwelling on these negative emotions and allowing them to consume our energy can be detrimental to our emotional well-being.

The quote by Emily Maroutian about ‘paying’ attention to what we focus on, serves as a reminder. While it’s crucial to acknowledge and process our emotions, dwelling on them excessively can perpetuate the cycle of pain and hinder our ability to heal. Instead, it’s beneficial to redirect energy towards self-care, seeking support, and taking proactive steps to address the situation constructively. By shifting attention towards personal growth, healing, and finding ways to reconnect with their child, as and when that’s possible, we can create a healthier space for ourselves and increase the chances of eventual resolution and reconciliation.

Loniless

“Loneliness is not just the absence of people. It’s the absence of purpose, the absence of meaning. “When you find yourself in a world where everything seems alienated and distant, where every connection is shallow and every meeting of understanding is met with indifference, you realize that true loneliness is not being alone, but feeling alone in a world that no longer makes sense.”

—Murakami

Across the great divide

“…Conflict engenders fire, the fire of affects and emotions, and like every other fire it has two aspects: that of burning and that of creating light.

On the one hand, emotion is the alchemical fire whose warmth brings everything into existence and whose heat burns all superfluities to ashes.

But on the other hand, emotion is the moment when steel meets flint and a spark is struck forth, for emotion is the chief source of consciousness.

There is no change from darkness to light or from inertia to movement without emotion.”

— Carl Jung
