Musings from the Mantis Mastermind:

Death of a child creates a tender ache in the pit of your stomach.  This is after the “acceptance” of the loss. It is ever present and something that you simply live with.  Like the eye I lost when I was nine years old. It was there but now it isn’t.  By simply living, you are reminded in a myriad of ways that a part of you is missing. You are here, but not whole. The triggers and echoes do stagger longer over time. And the Jewish wish that memories of your loved one be blessings are indeed blessings; even if bittersweet.

What do you say to someone who has lost parents, a partner, a child, a dear friend?  You want them to know that you can feel their suffering.  You want to lighten the load somehow, but really all you can do is to be present for them; perhaps attending to the pedestrian tasks of life.  You can assure them that their loved one is at peace, in another place, that you will meet again.  Still, you cannot philosophize or intellectualize away the feeling. The soul is bruised and though time does heal, it is little consolation to the immediate grief that in this life at least, the world to come will be without them.

Living a life in which you believe you are part of something bigger than yourself, helps. If you accept death as much as you embrace birth as embarkation and demarcation points between journeys that helps too.  The mystery of these origins and destinations can shift the state from sorrow to a kind of comforting curiosity.  For many, immersion into nature during times of loss can connect you in a way in which there is no past, no future, no real loss. They have taken form in a different part of the garden; earthly or celestial. 

Birthdays and Losses are the most frequent events that move us to give a card.  We hope our tree of loss can be comforting.  The strands on the willow represent both the flowing tears of grief and the golden strands of memory.  The egret represents grace, solitude, and calm. The lake holds the nectar of life. It is a place of contemplation and self-reflection. The wildflowers burst with new life as affirmed by the light and the doves above.
