2 Life Lessons From 2 Funerals in 2 Days
“Mom’s father died last night at about 3 am.”
This was the text we got in the family group chat with my in-laws about three weeks ago.
Then, just a few days ago, we got this in my family’s group chat:
“My Dad is with my Mother. He went about 11:07 pm.”
Losing a loved one is hard. Losing two at once is exhausting. The last week has been a blur as we had to get back from vacation, try to get some work done, and then attended two funerals, one yesterday and another today.
I feel almost completely emotionally spent, even though I feel peace knowing that these two great men are with their spouses again.
Here are just two quick lessons that I got from these funerals that can help you through the journey of life.
1. You can find your strengths by looking to your parents and grandparents.
Don’t focus on your weaknesses. Find your strengths and double-down on them every day.
There are many ways to discover what you’re best at. While hearing stories of my grandpa this week I realized that one of the best is to look at your ancestors.
