Death as completion
Death can be complete
We're taught to measure a life by its length. By what it built, what it achieved, how much it managed before it stopped. A long life is a good life. A short one is a tragedy, unfinished.
Honey was born and died in the same moment. By that measuring stick, hers barely registered, no years, no achievements, no future.
But I was holding something whole.
I've come to trust that a life can be complete on its own terms, however long or short it runs. That a soul's path might be exactly what it was meant to be, even when it makes no sense to us, even when it breaks our hearts. Her life wasn't cut short. It was the length it was, and it was whole.
This one is hard, and I hold it gently. It doesn't take the grief away, I'd give anything for more time with her. But underneath the grief there's a quieter knowing that nothing was missing.
What would it mean to trust that a life was whole, however long it ran?
Sit with it, it's a big one.
