Mind: Mom was very sick for over a year. She was given 1-3 months and blew that prognosis out of the water. She wasn’t herself anymore.
Body: You may think you’ve slept enough but I am tired.
Mind: It will be hard but I had all this anticipatory grief. Maybe it will be easier.
Body: OK, you want to go for a run. Just don’t expect me to breath normally or go as far as usual.
Mind: She was wasting away. I saw her body shut down, bit by bit.
Body: The person who birthed you, watched over you, cared for you, thought about you, like no one else, is not physically here anymore. Let’s sit fixed to the couch a bit longer.
Mind: I have been with two Aunts when they died. I sat with them and witnessed their last breath. This isn’t new.
Body: Was that real? Was that week real? I feel a bit nauseous.
Mind: Her soul left her body. I saw it with my own eyes.
Body: It’s 2pm and I can’t keep my eyes open.
Mind: Mom had a good life. She was so loved. So many people said how much she acted as a Mom or Grandmother force in their lives.
Body: MY Mom is gone. OK, let’s lift some weights and move some energy around.
Mind: Body when will you meet me in the middle?
Body: When I’m ready. Be patient.
