The good woman gave her daughter one word before she closed her eyes forever.
Every relationship has its fair share of emotions, at times they are not healed before the transition of death occurs.
That one word changed the game, opened her daughters eyes and hurt like hell. The word was ‘NECESSARY’. The sentence in which she used the word went a little something like this:
“I will only talk to you if it is necessary!”
Some transitions leave those who remain, feeling a type of pain that can not be easily resolved.
The mother and daughter did not speak again.
It necessary for the daughter to attend her mother’s funeral. However she did find it necessary to understand the very many ways in which this word… ‘Necessary’, could be used.
The word opened possibilities that may otherwise have missed.
Is it necessary for me to eat that slice of cake…?
Is it necessary for me to be at that party…?
Is it really necessary for to hold a grudge, get out of bed, pay that bill…?
There is always a backstory. We may not always be privy to it. Many hurts are carried through life.
The woman had decided that it was necessary to cut off her daughter in order to be faithful to her religion. It was therefore necessary for her to stay true to that which she ardently believed.
If she were to inherit the promises that she had dedicated her life to anticipating upon her demise, such as a reunion with her baby boy on a paradise earth; she had to reject all that could jeopardize her joyful salvation.
What are you willing to die for?
What is necessary for you?
The answer will be different for everyone. Our souls are on the journey and the body carries us through the experiences we came to have in this lifetime. What dies then is the body and the soul creates anew.
Once the daughter understood this, she decided to enjoy as best she could, the experiences she was yet to have.
