Mourning the Life That Wasn’t

December 7, 2024 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

Somewhere in life, a moment happens—a moment so profound and so powerful that it knocks you off course. It could be a very early trauma, a devastating loss, or the slow erosion of hope over years of struggle that makes us feel that feeling of mourning the life that wasn’t, even if we don’t know what that would have looked like. For some, that moment comes like a lightning strike, sudden and irreversible. For others, it creeps in quietly, unnoticed until the realization dawns that the life they were meant to live, the one they were born to inhabit, is no longer within reach.

Fractured Society Today

Fractured Society Today

Society today feels fractured in ways that deeply affect individuals and communities. This disconnection, which leaves many struggling to find purpose or belonging, is stark compared to the cohesive bonds that used to hold us together. Once, a shared sense of direction united families, communities, and even entire nations. Today, however, the societal glue has weakened, leading to an era where many feel isolated, lost, and unsure of their role in the world. This fractured society demands a closer look: how we arrived here, what changed, and most importantly, what can be done to heal and reconnect.

Stress, Anxiety or Depression

There are three states we can find ourselves in – the past, the present, or the future. If we don’t manage our thoughts and emotions, each can offer stress, anxiety, or depression.

(The following description is based on having negative thoughts, as having positive thoughts won’t normally be a problem.)

When we spend too much time in the future, we worry, this brings about some degree of stress and anxiety because we FEAR a potentially negative outcome. If we spend too much time in this state, our stress can be debilitating, and the repercussions can be lethal at the extreme. In the less extreme, being a worrier, or stressful, can give us a very unpleasant 20, 30, 40 or 50 years of life. Continuous and long term stress is a habit.

Life Is Against Us

I am sure that we’ve all been through hard times. At times we feel that life is against us, that perhaps God is against us! We feel that maybe we have done something in this, or in a previous life, that has come back to bite us in the butt. We must be paying for past sins. After all, we’re not bad people, right? So why are we having such a hard time?

We can go years feeling like this. For some people, it’s a lifetime of pain and misery. But why? We don’t know. So we suffer in silence. Sometimes not in silence. We fight it every day. We get angry, maybe bitter, stressed, depressed, then resigned, perpetuating our pain and suffering. But why?
