We are Enough

Loss comes so suddenly sometimes
In most ways it comes as death
in almost other instances
the breaking of a heart from the loss of a friend
the loss of a kindred spirit, a lover

It is an inevitability of life
And there is no manual for dealing with it
All of us cope differently
We talk, we cry, we keep it inside,
We write, we sing, go on drives
Anything
All in an effort to understand
For closure
For us to move on

Because we are alive
And for us to do that
We need to have clarity
But there are times we don't get that
Mostly we don't
It may come a month, 6 months or years later
And because we want to hear it from the person who's gone
From their lips
or by God's grace their angel

Life is as such though
that we must live and move on
Despite the absence of this
In the meantime
what do we do?
How do we move on?
I don't have all the answers
But we need to start by
forgiveness for them and for ourselves
For whatever was said or unsaid
Done or undone

Holding on will only keep us in a cycle
A cycle with a downward spiral
Where we shouldn't be
We are meant to move forward
And letting go
Accepting ourselves
Loving ourselves
Enough to forgive them and ourselves to set us free

Their loss is not our fault
We blame ourselves
But it is not our fault
Neither is it theirs
For we know not everything that may affect them
and their parting
And that is why we should seek the serenity to let go
of our hurt
and of them

Memories will always be there
But we need to accept them
the good and the bad
learn from them
and move on
For doing any other thing will not add value to us

Let us value ourselves
For we are alive
We are this moment
And more importantly
We are enough
If were were not enough to be on the earth
God would not have put us here
 

Let us love ourselves and forgive
For although the past is gone
We are enough to be here now
We are enough to move forward
For we are love
We are life and alive
