Pearl -wishing you peace in your grief. What worked best for me when I lost someone close to me a few years ago, was to “let it be” not “let it go.” I was just present with whatever feeling was cycling through my body. And it definitely would come in cycles. And the cycles lengthened out over time where the sad times came less frequently. Best regards

Losing someone is so painful.. especially if he/she will pass away and you don’t have the chance to talk to her/him again. So while you still have them, show to them how much you really love and value for having them in your life.

Well now that you’ve written them all out, why can’t you do them anyway. Seriously, look at the list and pick 5 of them. I’ll do it for you:

1.start writing thank you letters to all the people who have influenced me in a positive way
2.go for sky diving lessons
3.paint, sing, smile and laugh more often
4.put a letter in a bottle and throw it in the Ocean
5.go for a safari in Africa

1. Pretty easy to start, probably hard to complete
2. Google a place nearby and sign up
3. Easy to do
4. Plan a trip to Cali this summer and do it
5. Research, see what it costs, save up, book it.

2008 goals done!

Appreciate your kind words Akemi.. its one of the things we should never be encouraged to forget, regardless of the age!

Pearl, I am very sorry to hear about your loss. Please take time to grieve, and I know you will come out stronger and wiser.
In fact, you already are. Facing our mortality is one of the hardest thing (I keep writing about it and never seem to end) and you are doing it — at your fresh age.

I like Morgan Freeman, but haven’t seen Evan Almighty… I enjoy good classic funnies too… Writing this and sharing is helping for sure, it feels better to talk to the world about innermost fears and feelings than with family sometimes, its weird!

I’m so glad you are writing about this and working through the grief. You don’t have to quit your job to go skydiving. There’s a great balloon festival in Albuquerque, NM every year…maybe you can make the one this year.

I just watched Evan Almighty and it was pretty funny…Morgan Freeman is in that one too.

kaylee - write that life list and see if it puts things in a different perspective! It definitely helped me - even if its temporary, I am sure every time I’m gonna see it, its going to remind me of this time and help to move forward…

It takes time to get over these things, lots of time. And still sometimes you never get completely over but the pain usually fades in general only to come back in smaller shorter stabs with time. But knowing this, and keeping busy, doing things that you will never regret - like those thank you cards, travels, and lessons you mentioned can help pass the time and keep you going forward. You have some great ideas so definitely DO them. That’s what I’m trying to do. And you know, we’ll love to hear about all your escapades on here too. So don’t forget to keep us posted.

@Olivier - thanks for the recommendation, I’ll look into it…

@Ray - What a surprise! Great to have you back Ray, but your last post should be something different now since Blogtrepreneur isn’t sold and is back

@Mark - So true… asking for forgiveness is wonderful way to peace of mind.. but you say, “If ever I have a few days left in my life, I guess…” and thats the reason we need to write things down ‘coz theres no “IF” here

its a definite thing and writing things down, making life lists turns ‘guesses’ into concrete action plans!

Good stuff, Pearl! I love to see people following their passions and living life. There’s way too much unnecessary drudgery and boredom. If you keep thinking that there’s always tomorrow, you’ll definitely find out someday that there won’t be any more tomorrows.

@betshopboy: good thinking, I wrote these and then thought, I should really start aiming to do all of them as soon as possible, ‘coz who knows?

I use the ’sedona method’ (buy the book instead of the way to expensive audio tapes :-)) And this really helps (much to my surprise).
It is basically about looking at your feelings consciously (grief for instance) and then asking whether you could let it go. It really make a big difference.

Life is too short, so we have to make it worth. We should bear in mind that this life is just borrowed and we never know how long we could live/stay. If ever I have a few days left in my life, I guess I’ll spend it with my love ones, say sorry for those that I’ve hurt and ask forgiveness for the mistakes that I’ve done… and do things that I haven’t tried to do before.

Sky diving, deep sea diving, completing a marathon are some of the activities I hope to do in my lifetime, and I don’t want to wait until the last few months of my life to do them.
