My friend told me about a redwood tree that is completely hollow at its base, with only a thin layer living at its bark. This tree is old and tall and strong. It is 25% alive.
I feel hollow and empty inside.
I can't see the way forward. I can't see the forest through the trees.
But I am still here. Am I strong? Am I 25% alive?

Serenity Joy almost made it into this world alive, but almost doesn't count. Her little sister did make it.
When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present -- love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure -- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth.

I think a part of us dies with our children
You are here, amongst friends. The forest becomes more clear as time goes on, but tends to look a lot different.
Hugs to you. I think I died and is still dead. waiting for my re-birth and holding you in my thoughts.
