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 publicly.   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     I've been working towards completing my coaching certification.    ** To meet my graduation requirement, I need a few more hours of outside coaching practice.
