Hi Michael

Thanks for your post. I had to sit on it for a few hours. What a strong spirit you are ? Just amazing. There is so much clarity in your words but perhaps, you are not feeling the same clarity in your mind at this present moment.

I am so sorry for your loss. Life is so unpredictable and sometimes, it is hard to make sense of it all. However, from my personal experiences to date, it appears that we only get to deal with life situations that make us stronger and much better version of self. “A straight road doesn’t make skilful drivers”….and similarly, a life without painful incidents doesn’t create a compassionate and kind human being. Keep the happy memories of your wife and focus on what is – a whole life ahead of you waiting to unfold beautifully with other experiences and take you closer to the source of peace and calm that your heart seeks.

Could it be that finding meaningful relationships be difficult as you are still grieving and closed up in your shell ? When you have the strength to be just YOU – unique, quirky, different to 7 billion other humans – you might not feel so lonely and disconnected. Learn to open up when you meet people as there is no other person like you in this world. You are as unique as it gets so there is really no competition and there is no place for judgments, rejection or criticisms from anyone else. No one knows you better than YOU.

So start by being kind to yourself and I assure you that forming connections or making new relationships won’t seem like a difficult task in this new town. All of us are looking for authentic relationships but this starts with us – we need to become the most authentic version of self. Get into the habit of offering thanks to everything and everyone and soon the attitude of gratitude will lead to bigger and better things to be grateful about.

Sending you loads of positive energy and wish you all the best for your journey. A beautiful life is awaiting to unfold if you give yourself a chance to just BE.
