Transformations...
Memorial Bracelet
The
first months after losing a love one are a sea of confusing
emotions, and the raw grief of new loss. Life is suddenly different
than we have ever known it to be, someone important is missing, and
we now need to somehow figure out how to live again - we need to
learn a new way of breathing...
The dragonfly is a symbol of transition. It starts off life as an ugly creature lurking in the dark murky depths of a pond, hiding in the mucky stuff at the bottom. And really after we have lost someone, that is how we often feel... lost in the dark depths of our grief, wondering if we will ever see the sun again. But slowly overtime the dragonfly nymph transforms, until one day it leaves that murky water world behind and greets the sun, an iridescent pair of wings to carry it through the rest of our life. We too will transform ...
Grief changes us. It shows us parts if ourselves and others that we may not have seen before. It opens our eyes to humanity - creates an empathy that may not have been there before. It can inspire us to move forward and do better things with our lives.
