Some Lessons on Learning to Let Go From a Friend


Once in a while, I would receive messages from readers who share me bit and pieces of their own moving on experiences. Without doing any editing work and having received her permission, I copy-pasted a most touching message from Malou (Evans) whom I met online and has since then connected with me. I've always been thankful for these wonderful people in my life. They fill up most comfortable the gaps I know exist in my life as I face my own moving on challenges. My friend's letter reads below:

Hi Jerome,
Yes I do read your articles and funny enough I became your follower. I was touched on a certain articles as if I  reading your memoir.(I believe my friend's referring to my article about my relationship with my late father). God is good
He gave us the power to love even to the people who hurt us. I was hurt and abused my kindness and it took me 3 years trying to evaluate why me? But of course there is no answer and all I do is to practise letting go and eventually pain diminished slowly.
Anyway I am true to what I say ... Something from London and its a pleasure . God bless and take care.

The metal rings would glisten in the space where Luke, the name of the said participant, has him making his stretches on his yoga mat. As all of us participants would work on the stretches and (challenging, whew!) poses being coached to us ably by our teacher, Hollis, in one session, I took note of Luke's p

Where Do I Start Moving On From The Tragic Demise of A Very Good Friend?

Last Friday evening (Philippine time), a very good friend of mine (as well as the friend of many, many others) was murdered in his apartment. I got the message from another friend on Facebook. I was since then grappling with the shock, grief and anger over the whole tragedy. Gratefully, I've managed to compose a brief poem on my grief . But the sadness still continues. This friend also happened to be posting comments to several of my blogs here, the last of which came out here . click on the title for more...
