Reflections on Tina's Passing

My go-to person in life died 6 months ago. Her memorial is this weekend in Colorado and in true Tina fashion, she requested it be a taco & tequila shindig.
She was hospitalized from a stroke the day I moved into my house, and died 2 days later. She was my best friend for the past 15 years.
I recorded this video on Christmas Eve, exactly 3 weeks from her death. It was 11 pm and quiet. I made the video for myself, to capture my thoughts on how my greatest fear came true which was-if something really good comes into my life, something else gets taken away-and how now I could see that 1) that's not true; life has highs and lows and they are not related, 2) where this fear stems from...my family's past and 3) I responded to this tragic news in an empowering, trusting way that is different from how I behaved in the past. The resilience I now have is a testament to years of identifying my limiting beliefs, discovering their root cause and choosing to not let it derail me.
As I packed for my trip to Colorado to celebrate the gem of a human that Tina was, I thought about what I said in this personal video and how it might resonate with someone. So I decided to post it publically.
In this episode:
Siblings remembering and interpreting the same experience, differently
How good can you stand it
Generational trauma
Don't play it safe because there's always a chance you can get hurt in life.
Sometimes you just need someone to hear you.
"I was basking in what I loved and at the same time, without me knowing it, my best friend was being rushed to the hospital."
Staying unseen and small and then everyone will be OK; it makes no sense. Looping subconscious beliefs.
Are you trying to protect yourself but it's actually hindering/hurting you?
Just because you get older, doesn't mean you've evolved

Lena , a beautiful tribute to Tina, friendship and the losses in life. I still draw inspiration from loved ones that have passed and still laugh at a joke I knew my father would have told.
