There are times that nothing and no one can understand where exactly to meet you in your feelings of loss. It’s not their fault. I myself viewed the world and my surroundings with almost a fantastical view before. Now that the interactions, talks, and her presence all have come to a full stop it becomes apparent EVERY day how fantastical you can be. It’s now impossible not to think and behave with a known certainty of death especially once someone close is gone from your life. It’s like you know “of loss”, but not in the most real-est sense…until it happens!

 

Fortunately, there are some ways to manifest those feelings. This past weekend I attended the water lantern festive right back in @jerseycitynj @libertystatepark where mom and I spent a lot of time together. It was where I made my first home and with her and my newborn son who she helped me raise up. It was in this park where we enjoyed the silence and becoming one with nature. It was also where we spent countless hours watching the ducks and my son at play. It came to be full circle. As we created our lantern stories it was magical to be under the same Jersey City skies and then also spiritual to be able to release my story along with other unique stories.

 

It was a spectacular sight and such a beautiful release of what was and is now under the same skies. It reunited me with her and allowed me to release some of those feelings within my lantern story to her into the water to find her somehow again🤔. We all cope and deal with loss in different ways and this was one of my ways. I think it is important to recognize what could be good for your soul and then find a way to do it. This one was for you MA! What are some of your ways to deal and cope? I for one recommend this as 1 for sure!! Pearlz*
