How to Thrive Through Loss, Grief and Uncertainty
I’m going to talk to you about how to thrive through loss, grief and uncertainty.
It’s august 14th 2019 and my dad has just gone in to have a control scan. He had cancer in his bladder removed in september of the previous year. The January scan was clear, the May ultrasound seemed to show a nodule on his liver that was judged innocuous. So this was just a control scan. We have just returned from a very nice trip to Belgium. We saw my dad’s friends and family; he had such a wonderful time! Since my mom died the year before, he has been heartbroken. And this short trip to Belgium really lifted his spirits. It was such a success that I was already planning the next one, I was thinking “during the fall break”…
Uncertainty, how nice it would be to be able to plan!
I was already thinking about that next trip and we have just come back a couple of days ago. So my dad has this contro scans and he comes back with that scan showing metastases in many places, in both of his lungs, his liver was full of them three lymph node chains in the abdomen. It looks really bad. It’s really a bad scan, it is quite worrisome in fact.
In an instant, everything changes.
I cried, for three days and three nights. At the end of three days and three nights, suddenly, I had an inspiration. A new possibillity appeared to me, that would be available to me when both of my parents would be gone. It’s not easy to stay in presence of all that but it is important. My father died 6 weeks later. The question of how to thrive through loss, grief and uncertainty is really present!
