25 Awesome Quotes- The language of letting go

Having firsthand experience qualifies you to elaborate on a subject more accurately. Why? Because you have suffered the pain and the ecstasy, you have ached, cried, laughed and enjoyed in your own skin. I decided to write this unusual hub (Unusual for me since it isn´t my typical style), because I am undergoing a very painful experience at the moment (My Granny suffered a stroke yesterday and she cannot speak, cannot swallow or chew)

Nevertheless, that has not prevented me from focusing on the bright side of things, though I confess it hasn´t been easy. When you allow your human side to take control of situations you are in for painful moments. Whether it is pleasant and indulging or not is beside the point. Involving your emotions in life´s important and relevant decisions will cause you to suffer.

What does it mean? It means relevant decisions have to be made with a cool head and a calm heart. How can you decide in a situation like mine? Well, let me put it this way: My Grandma is 95 years old, but she´s spent the last 11 months in a clinical bed. She cannot move and everything has to be done for her. My mom and Sis have been her “nurses” but they are tired and so is granny.

So, what has been my view on the subject? Granny would be better off in God´s hands than where she is now, that is what yesterday´s stroke told me. She´s even more handicapped now. That means that an attached emotion of wanting her to stick around longer would make her suffer more and as a result we would have to endure deeper pain.

I have decided to share this with you so that you can understand what has motivated me to find these quotes.
