Heritage and Healing

Shared by: Mikayla

I recently had a miscarriage and soon after found out that I will not be able to have kids.

This was the only time I had ever been pregnant and I’m only 20 years old.

This was my way of reminding myself that I am strong and could make it through this and its my way of remembering my unborn child, also with the candy skull it shows my heritage of being Hispanic so I wanted to wrap my roots of my past with the roots of what would have been my future. . .

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.

— Paulo Coelho

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy.

— John Calvin
