Although Imperfect Life is Beautiful!
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 13 secondsApproaching the end of the second year of my grief journey, I wake up every day celebrating the beauty of life despite losing Jan and the multitude of imperfections we must all seek to repair.
I agree with Albert Einstein, who wrote, “Never cease to stand like curious children before the Great Mystery into which we were born!”
With the most excruciating period of grief in my rearview mirror, I will always miss Jan.
But her love has enriched me enough that she is still with me now and forever.
Her love inspires me to continue my mensch-in-training activities. May I one day be blessed to no longer be a trainee.
Her simple words of wisdom can motivate me to live fully.
Richard, you are capable and strong, and I believe in you.
My life is better despite Jan’s death because she is still with me, and I share her love daily to continue our work of repairing the world.
