➡️ The illusion that we can replace the loss with certain types of loss events and how to avoid this trap
➡️ How we learn to isolate with our pain and how that can hurt us
➡️ Why “being strong” is not beneficial to you or those around you following a loss
➡️ How keeping busy puts us further away from the goal of moving on
➡️ How time alone can not and will not heal your broken heart

Touching tale:
"Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way."
Embrace change. It's inevitable for growth. Together we can shift pain into wonder and love, but it is up to us to consciously and intentionally create that connection.

At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, was walking through a park one day in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully.

Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her.

The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter "written" by the doll saying "please don't cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures."

Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka's life.

During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable.

Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned to Berlin.

"It doesn't look like my doll at all," said the girl.

Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: "my travels have changed me." The little girl hugged the new doll and brought the doll with her to her happy home.

A year later Kafka died.

Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written:

"Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way."

Embrace change. It's inevitable for growth. Together we can shift pain into wonder and love, but it is up to us to consciously and intentionally create that connection.

WHEN SOMEONE HAS GONE

When someone has gone,
you can bring them back, for just a little while,
by talking them into life.
By painting a picture with your memories and your words, breathing their essence back into existence, for just a few moments.

When someone has gone,
you can see them again, for a minute or two,
by being all the things they once were.
By allowing their best traits to filter through you,
shaping your words, your thoughts and your deeds, back out into this world.

When someone has gone,
you can feel them again, for just a moment,
by playing their music and singing their favourite songs. By giving yourself up to the notes that brought them alive once upon a time, it will again.

When someone has gone,
you can keep a part of them alive,
by giving the love you had for them a forever place in your life, a forever seat at your table and a glorious chapter in your book.

Stories never die, and boy did they make stories.

Tell them.

MAYBE PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO STOP GRIEVING…

Maybe they are terrified,
that the grief they feel is the last thing they have left of that person.
That if they move on from the grief,
they will lose the final connection.
The only tie.

Maybe people feel united with their loved one,
in the realm just outside our reality.
United in pain and loss.
Banished to a parallel universe where they can both exist together,
still together.

Maybe that’s just too precious to move on from.

So if you are in this place, or you know someone who is,
maybe you can remind them that they are completely connected to their lost one,
in so many more wonderful ways than just the loss.
How can they not be?
Inch for inch the pain they feel equals the love they shared.

At the end of the day, it’s all just love.
And there is no need to banish either.
They can exist side by side,
grief and love.

And they do,

every day.

A baby born after the loss of a baby, is referred to as a Rainbow baby.

Today we remember all babies born sleeping, the ones we've carried but never met, those we've held but couldn't take home, the ones that came home but didn't stay.
