Wednesday Wishes

Wednesday-Wishes-unknownmami

It’s Wednesday and normally I try to be all kinds of upbeat to remind you that the Universe is abundant so that you will make some Wednesday Wishes to manifest abundance in your life. Today, I am not upbeat. I am quite sad and my wishing all revolves around the death of one person.

Linda Canales

My beautiful, vivacious prima has died. It seems impossible. Just look at her! She was far too young to die and it was all so incredibly unexpected.

It wasn’t like she had been sick for a long time, it wasn’t like that at all.

A few days ago she said her back hurt and went to the doctor to find out what was wrong. The true cause of her pain was not found. She was sent home and it appears that what was an undetected burst ulcer started off a series of physical reactions that led to her death within days.

Just like that she’s gone.

If I could wish for anything it would be to have her back, but I know that’s not possible. Instead, I wish for comfort and strength to be given to those she was closest to. I have no doubt the pain they feel is overwhelming. I wish for love for her parents and that they somehow manage to get some relief from their grief. I wish that her children feel supported and loved by those around them. I wish that her siblings find a way to cope. I don’t even know what to wish for for her husband, but help him too.

I wish this had never happened.

Rest in peace my beautiful prima. You are loved.

That’s it for me this week. What are you wishing for? If you can spare a wish, please wish for strength and better times for my extended family.

    I don’t always know what to say or write. Writing might be easier because I have more time to think about it. Wishing the best for all the family and friends dealing with this loss. Sometimes the universe does just suck.
