A famous writer once said that there is no experience you go through in life that is wasted. This took me back to the pain of losing both my father and mother. At a time I thought I was old enough not to be so affect by that kind of pain. I only woke up to realize that this is the kind of pain that changes you as a person forever and you have to live with it each day.
Then i get to a point in life where i ask myself, what I do with this pain that doesn’t go away. We learn to just live with each day of our lives. Nobody talks about it freely especially in the African culture setting. It will Crip up on you when you least expect it always.
I used to scold my son when he tried to communicate that he needed his mother some times more than he needed me his father. It sometimes made me feel a certain way, till one time i got a light bulb moment. If i miss my own mother at this age of 40 something then what about this young boy who is not 5 years old at all. Helloooo!!!!!!
I decided to channel my pain of losing both my parents after being their family caregiver in to a business, yes!!! Carelath Services Ltd – https://www.carealthservices.com was birthed from the pain i still hold deeply in my heart. I am comforted that, i am putting it to grater use each day as i heal and help another family caregiver out of the woods.
So no matter your past or present trauma you went through, you might need to tap in to just that to find your purpose in this life. This will change your perspective on your whole life as long as you stay authentic, disciplined and resilient. @MenslifecoachEd
