Dios mío, dame la serenidad para aceptar las cosas que no puedo cambiar, el valor para cambiar las que puedo cambiar, y la sabiduría para discernir e… - Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Jennifer was told to be strong for her children when her husband died. Today she wonders about the message her dry eyes implied. Did her children think she didn’t care? “What if I did cry in front of the kids? What if I modeled grief for them in that way? I could have said, ‘Mommy is sad and crying because Daddy has died.’ I could have reassured them that I was still strong enough to be there for them and take care of them.” Children need to know that strong people cry when loved ones die and that does not hamper their ability to go on with life.

Dying is something we human beings do continuously, not just at the end of our physical lives on this earth.

It is very important that you do only what you love to do. You may be poor, you may go hungry, you may live in a shabby place, but you will totally live. And at the end of your days, you will bless your life because you have done what you came here to do.
