it’s that time
It’s that time in my generation when everyone I know is losing their parents.
And more. Some are loosing siblings too.
A friend of mine in the field said that feeling numb is a feeling. A legit feeling.
And that it’s an expression of grief.
I guess so. In a way.
More and more I come across people who lost their parent(s). Someone they loved. And yet they didn’t feel anything. Didn’t cry.
It’s curious to them too. But it feels right and normal to them.
It took me a while to figure out what I myself was feeling when my Mom died.
Of course some feelings and thoughts were loud and clear.
But one feeling was the feeling I had as a result of not having the feelings I thought I was going to have, or thought I should have had.
But I want you to know that the common wisdom is that whatever it is, it’s all normal.
It’s all human.

Like everyone, I have different sides. Counselor, photographer, writer, cooker of food – both spicy and plain, and seeker of truth and happiness. I have always taken an interest in the unassuming things that pass us by – both heard and seen, both ordinary and not so ordinary. They are all sacred and beautiful in some way.
