What a beautiful way to honor your wife and daughter. I handle my trauma the same way - when life gives you a garbage truck full of lemons, there’s also something in it for you. We don’t want the terrible events to happen but it’s what we make of it that honors those we lost - including our past selves. I have so much empathy for what my past selves got through. Looks like you do as well. Thanks for writing this.
Thank you for sharing this. Our family lost my husband to suicide, it's a very strange way to lose someone and I used to tell people that it has its own rule book for grief. I wish you and your family the best sir.
Jason, thank you for these beautifully honest words. I'm sorry for the loss of your wife and your daughter. I lost my adult son only 18 months ago, so I read everything I can find that may help me process my own grief. Thank you again for writing this.
I cannot speak highly enough of this post! Insightful, accurate, heartfelt, sobering, inspiring life lessons from grief. I relate to so many of these since losing my dad. Grief has been the most powerful teacher in my life. Thank you Jason for sharing these words to live by 🙏🏼
Ways to live a meaningful life. It ain’t easy but it’s very meaningful.These illustrate that I can still thrive in life if I’m willing to put in the work. And thriving doesn’t mean constant joy and peace. It means living and feeling life fully with gratitude and acceptance. ✌️❤️
It’s remarkable how you can distill the last 15 years into these points. And they’re beautiful. Thank you for your contribution to this conversation.
A compliment from my lovely wife is the best compliment of all. I love you babe. ♥️♥️
