I think this applies to so many things in life too...
not just with death - but any loss. illness. life-changing events. trauma.

so often we rush to get back on track, when our mind is telling us slow down and breathe.

I've learned (especially in the last 5 years) how very important it is to breathe.
deep, long, calming, soul-resetting breaths.

I've learned to enjoy breathing so much. Isn't that a funny thing?
hehehe
