Reflections
Remember that as well as being a journey of loss, this is also a opportunity for learning and growth. When I first heard Tulku Thondup say, "take it as a blessing," I struggled with those words. How could he possibly say that? What was he getting at? Upon reflection, I knew he intended it as an invitation to see the opportunities in our situation, and that he was framing it in the most uplifting, spacious way possible. Whenever I remembered that phrase, my perspective on our situation expanded. I felt both challenged and hopeful. I knew I would be learning life's hardest lessons: loss, surrender, dying, and death. And along with these was the opportunity to deepen in trust and love.
Suggestions
Start practicing ways to steady yourself by cultivating calmness in difficult moments. In those times, become aware of your body and your breath. Practice noticing how several deep, calming breaths can steady you. An invaluable practice in any situation is to keep returning to the rhythm of your breath to anchor you to the present moment.
