    Dear Kittycatlinda,

    Same can be applied.

    Dear Brav3:

    Well written, if I may say so. This is a departure from the very organized previous threads. I liked those very much. This is different, less orderly, more flowing and excellent content. Impressed, yet again.

    I like the quote. Is your plan to make “the best of the way things turned out” still involves summer in Sweden?

    Dear Anita,

    Thank you for your delightful comment as always.

    May I ask, how do you remember about the things I wrote before? You write to so many people on this forum everyday.

    I really don’t know about my plan to Sweden this summer. I am holding it very loose not solid and fixed. I will take it as it comes. No plans. No control. No looking for secure desired future.

    A very different me.

    Dear Brav3:

    Sounds (reads, that is) good to me: no plans, no control… How do I remember? It was a very memorable description, New Year Eve with Vikings and a kiss at midnight. Memorable. I remember your original thread here, on tiny Buddha. Such a long time ago, how you struggled- you did struggle for a long time. You are one of the very few (maybe the only) member who made it so well to the other side, and came back to tell about it!

    Not that there are or will not be more challenges, but you got the right attitude, you learned and you keep learning. You really do “the best of the way things turned out”!

    Dear brav3

    Appreciate the post on breakups. However I don’t think this is applicable to death entirely. Breakup is a kind of loss too, a person dear to us departs from our life but they are alive. We can call them, see them and their life continues, just not with us. Death is different. There is no return. There are no answers for this pain, no respite no matter how many years pass. A void will always be there. This post will make less sense to someone who lost a parent, a child, a friend, a gf/bf or anyone dear to them. Much less to people who have watched their loved ones get sick and die. And no amount of positivity or rising above negative emotions will change the harsh reality of death. You can fall in love again after a breakup but the person who died won’t come back. I know you mean well brav3 but I am not very satisfied with the idea of equating breakups, death in the same category of coping with loss.

    Regards
    Nina
