FINDING PEACE & LETTING GO

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มิ.ย. 2021
  • We’ve been taught to hold on to things. And in our material world, life has become a possession too - we cannot seem to let it go. It seems to have become more acceptable to "rage against the dying of the light" and fight to the bitter end, than to take stock of what life has been about and to be at peace with death.
    Dying is not about hanging on. It’s about letting go, reconciling, finding peace.
    And when we learn to do that, we learn to live life.
    Filmed in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
    Featuring Di Lawrie.
    All of our films are made possible through the generous support of our patrons.

    In generations gone by we would have sat at the knee of elders and listened to such pearls of wisdom. We are starved of that enrichment of the soul in our modern, divisive, individualistic world.

    "Death is an extremely personal thing, we've got the medicines, the operations, the chemo and you've got all these choices to prolong life. But there comes a point when you're prolonging death and not life. But each one needs to know where that line is for them."

    "Trust and just love... unconditionally.
    And so you're able to love somebody to the absolute fullest
    even knowing that they're going to be dying
    and especially that they're dying.
    All the makeup goes away,
    all the material possessions fall away.
    They have a moment to be authentic
    and to be accepted and not judged,
    and it is so liberating.
    Where they can just be themselves without judgment.
    My life is teaching me
    to let go and not take things so personally."
    I'm so grateful for this insight.

    My mum would say : " I'm getting old and haven't long in this world" And us kids would chastise her and tell her to stop being so negative. Afcourse we were just afraid at the thought of loosing her. Mum would then say :" What, do you expect me to live forever?"
    We'd all go quiet.
    I now say the same thing to my kids and I genuinely believe it helps prepare them for that day when we pass away. When my mother became terribly ill I had time to say goodbye but it did not change how grief stricken i became ..took me 3 years to come out the other side. I still hear her ask " What, did you expect me to live forever?" I now gave the answer. When I was very young I did expect her to live forever. Now that im more mature I know non of us is immortal and i want my kids to accept that i g is the reality of life. I want them to be able to be prepared for life...a future for themselves.

    Oh, GR, I can physically feel my heart open when I watch your films. Thank you, Di, for sharing your story & your heart. It's obvious what a beautiful woman your gram was, and I could feel the collective energy in your family of wanting so desperately to do something and yet feeling so powerless. The illness & the engagement with the medical system is so heartbreaking but then when you shared about the healing that came with the hospice nurses, well...I'm in a puddle of tears. Good tears. As you say - a release and a processing. This beautiful film & message - what a centering & grounding way to start the day. Once again, your film comes to me as a much needed and welcomed gift. Thank you.

    " The more loss we feel, the more greatful we should be for whatever it was we had to lose. It means that we had something worth grieving for. The ones I am sorry for are the ones that go through life not knowing what grief is. " Said Frank O' Connor.
    Thanks for sharing this information with us all. We will all be in touch with our mortality and the blessings of finding our peace in our deaths. It is so much harder to lose someone that you love , than to be the person who is dying. I died and it was instantly out of the world, the pains, and I was not concerned or afraid. I was dead for 15 or 20minutes, and then I was back in my life. Ouch! That is the way it was. I was very concerned about the people who were in my life, they were very upset and worried about me and they were so frightened that I was going to die again soon.
    That was a decade ago.. death is inevitable and you can't live with the fear of death,, why? Where is the joy and happiness in life? What is life worth living in the fear and loss of life? Embrace life with jubilation and celebration and boogie til you drop.

    I am fortunate to see the videos on this channel and all the wisdom that people share from their lives. I especially liked this lady's house. It is a marvel. I however want to say that it is better to distance oneself from people (even family) if they have loose ethics, integrity, and are toxic. We cannot let them do things that are harmful to our well-being, again and again. Each time it takes away some bit of our own self. We got to protect who we naturally are. So we cannot just 'let go' of negative things every time they happen from the same individual, friends, or family.
