Triumph VS Tragedy

 When I was in hospital (I've been in a total of 7 times IIRC), I met a hopeless young man who would lie on the floor all day. When his friend came to visit, he would lament that the place was hell to stay in and that he hated everyone here. He was generally very negative. I remember turning to him and saying 'give us a chance. You might end up having fun with the people here' or something to that effect.


Same energy



Lo and behold, fast forward a few years later and he's getting married to the love of his life, that he met in the very same hell he wasn't willing to give a chance to at first. They are madly in love and the happiest kids I know on Facebook.


Now, fast forward a few years from when I first met them in a hopeless place, and I'm in the hospital again. This time, there is another blossoming romance. But alas, things never worked out because they both took their lives, one after the other. 


Perhaps their lives would have been saved, if they had found solace in each other. Maybe, or maybe not. But to see these two stories unfold the way they did, I am happy for the married couple, yet tremendously sad for the wasted potential of the two lives, lost young.


May they find happiness and peace in the afterlife.

Spiritual Postpartum Depression: When the Birthing Process is Interrupted

Abstract: Postpartum depression (PPD) affects approximately 13% of women globally 1 . While hormonal changes play a role, there’s growing interest in the spiritual dimension of childbirth. When the spiritual process of birth is interrupted—often due to medical interventions like cesarean sections—mothers may experience a profound sense of loss.

In this article, we delve into the impact of medical interventions on the spiritual birth experience and explore coping strategies for holistic well-being. Introduction: Childbirth is a transformative event that encompasses physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. The spiritual aspect involves a deep connection between the mother, baby, and the universe. When this connection is disrupted, mothers may experience spiritual postpartum depression (SPD). SPD differs from conventional PPD, as it centers on the loss of a sacred bond during childbirth. The Exper

What is mindfulness (and what do we get wrong about it)?

Mindfulness is the practice of bringing our attention and awareness to the present moment, without judgment. It involves being fully present and engaged in the current experience, rather than getting caught up in thoughts about the past or worries about the future. While mindfulness has become increasingly popular in recent years, there are some misconceptions about what it is and how to practice it. Here are a few things that we often get wrong about mindfulness: Mindfulness is not just about relaxation: While mindfulness can be a relaxing practice, its benefits go beyond stress reduction. Mindfulness has been shown to improve cognitive function, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. Mindfulness is not about eliminating thoughts: Many people believe that the goal of mindfulness is to stop thinking altogether. However, this is not possible or desirable. Rather, the goal of mindfulness is to become more aware of our thoughts and emotions, and to observe them without judgment. Mi
