THE STORY OF THE DRAGONFLY
From the book "Tales to grow and heal" by Michel Dufour
"At the bottom of an old pond lived a group of larvae that did not understand why when any of them ascended through the long lily stalks to the surface of the water, they never descended again where they were.
They promised each other that the next of them who would rise to the surface, would return to tell the others what had happened to them.
Shortly after, one of these larvae felt an irresistible desire to ascend to the surface.
He began to walk upwards through one of the thin vertical stems and when he was finally outside he began to rest on a lily leaf. Then he experienced a magnificent transformation that turned him into a beautiful dragonfly with beautiful wings.
He tried to keep his promise, but it was in vain.
Flying from one end of the pond to the other, he could see his friends in the background but it seemed they couldn’t see him.
Then he understood that even if they in turn had been able to see him, they would never have recognized one of their companions in this radiant creature.
The fact that after that transformation that we call death, we cannot see our beloved, or communicate with them, does not mean that they have ceased to exist...
They are not here, they went to another place to take care of us from there with a different view.
"Death is nothing more than a change of mission."

Spot on. The initial loss hurt so deeply. I would wake up with a literal pain in my chest. Heartbreak. The unraveling is what left me debilitated. Hopeless. An endless dark void, an empty place next to me. Silent tears running down my face without me even knowing I was crying. My heart wasn’t the only thing grieving - my body was, too. Life is precious, my friends. 🌻 • 📍Austin, Texas 📣 @whitneyhansonpoetry • #grief #griefeducation #griefjourney #griefsupport #healing #healingjourney #healingquotes #heartbroken #heartbreakquotes #heartbreak #growth #relatable #relationships #relationship #divorce #breakup #quote #quoteoftheday #quotes #quotesaboutlife #quotesdaily #quotestagram #quotestoliveby #quotesoftheday #quotesandsayings #lovequotes #love #motivationalquotes #lifequotes
