Finding My Way Now.... A Journey of Love By Carrie Brody
How do you find your way after your life is unexpectedly shattered into a million pieces? This happened to me and I had no idea how to find my way.
On November 24, 2018, my healthy, vibrant, loving, brilliant 9-year-old son, Seth, suddenly and unexpectedly “just died.” No illness, no signs, no pre- existing condition. I had no idea how I was going to survive this tragedy. You cannot just pick up the pieces and glue them back together. You are in the dark and don’t have a flashlight, a GPS, or a map. There is nothing you can do to make the heart-wrenching pain subside. You are groping and clawing your way out of a deep hole, but keep falling back in. What do you do when you feel like you are drowning with no lifeboat in reach? You keep swimming and riding the waves. You continue by healing, but not in the way that you follow the rules and you get to “the end.” You just keep going. Why? For love... for that deep love you feel in your soul. You heal for you and them so that you can finish the work they couldn’t. You do this work together from each side of the veil. This is me now. After months of sitting in the dark with pain and suffering, I chose healing. It doesn’t come easily.. But with consistent healing work and facing the darkness, I have emerged with more love, more grace, more gratitude and more compassion. I wake every day with my son Seth by my side. Our continued relationship is what keeps me going and gives me the power to move forward. Because I know I am not on this path alone. I am doing this every day with Seth’s eternal love.
