Wat as die lewe begin dwarsklappe uitdeel?

As jy val – hou vas aan al die redes waarom jy moet opstaan.

Wat as die lewe begin dwarsklappe uitdeel? | Lynette Beer

Die lewe is nie altyd maklik nie, ten spyte van al die oulike boodskappies en Bybelversies wat jy daagliks op WhatsApp en Facebook lees. In die week moet ‘n vrou inderhaas van Australië terugvlieg om haar ma se begrafnis by te woon. Ek hoor van ‘n Ouma van amper 95 wat twee weke voor die geboorte van haar agter, agterkleinkind sterf. ‘n Jong vrou is nou ‘n weduwee met drie klein dogtertjies nadat haar man onverwags in ‘n
motorongeluk dood is.

Al hierdie mense is in rou gedompel en vir hulle maak al die oulike boodskappies nie meer sin nie. Die oomblik wanneer iemand na aan jou sterf, betree jy ‘n stuk van jou lewensreis met baie donker kolle. Die rouproses het ‘n definitiewe begin, maar ongelukkig nie ‘n einde nie. Daar is nie ‘n stel reëls wat jy moet volg en dan skielik is jy oor dit nie.

‘n Vriendin van my wat haar man op ‘n baie jong ouderdom verloor het, sê altyd die rouproses is soos ‘n spiraal. In die begin draai die verlange, die seer en leegheid so styf om jou vas, jy kan amper nie asemhaal nie. Met die tyd saam, kring dit wyer om jou uit. Kan jy weer begin om gemakliker asem te haal. Weer begin leef, maar êrens in jou agterkop bly die verlange maar altyd. Tref sy verjaarsdag, hul huweliksherdenking en die klas van dae tog maar ‘n gevoelige plek in die hart.

Tyd genees nie wonde nie. Sy moes die keuse maak om aan te gaan. “Ek het eendag gesit en gedink, as ek nou die dag doodgaan en ek sien hom weer in die Hemel, wat sal hy wil hoor, dat ek ‘n gelukkige vol lewe gehad het, of dat ek my lewe om in my kamer gesit en huil het omdat hy nie meer daar was nie? Die antwoord was eintlik so eenvoudig. Hy het my liefgehad, hy sou nie wou hê dat ek ongelukkig en depressief moes wees nie.”

Toe kies sy om aan te gaan. Maklik was dit verseker nie en sy sal ook erken na al die jare, is daar dae wat dit nie maklik is nie, maar sy maak elke dag die bewuste keuse om dankbaar te wees en om te leef.

Wat is die belangrikste om te onthou wanneer die lewe nie meer vir jou sin maak nie? God is getrou en regverdig ‘God never promised us smooth sailing, but He did promise us a safe landing.’

The Four Temperaments in the Health Care Industry
By Lynette Beer 25 Apr, 2023
I have to date, not met any successful healthcare worker without a deep love for people. Empathy and caring for people's needs should form part of any nurse or doctor's make-up – unless they choose to spend time in laboratories or the admin side of the industry.

The Four Temperaments and Stress Management - Finding Balance
By Lynette Beer 25 Apr, 2023

The Impact of Temperament on Communication
By Lynette Beer 18 Apr, 2023
Communicating is a vital life skill that does not come naturally to all. When it comes to talking, the Red and Yellow temperaments have no problem at all – to the contrary, they are talkers par excellence. As the storyteller and performer, Yellow could make an impromptu speech with little or no warning, while Red could persuade a large group to follow his course or buy into his concept. But listening – the other crucial ingredient of communication - is a skill both Red and Yellow must practise.

Navigating Romantic Relationships with Different Temperaments
By Lynette Beer 01 Mar, 2023
Although opposites often attract, there is no scientific proof that this is the norm. However, it is common to find an introvert marrying an extrovert or a people-oriented person finding a task-oriented Red or Blue attractive. This could be a subconscious step to compliment him- or herself or simply make sure that he or she does not have to perform a duty that does not come naturally or comfortably.
Exploring the Four Temperaments in Parenting
By Lynette Beer 01 Mar, 2023
‘Know Thyself’ has never been as crucial as in the parenting role. Parents have often told me that the child they battle the most with is the one that resembles them – in character and temperament. Flaring up against young Jimmy because he shows signs of your own shortcomings is human – but not fair.
The Groovy Green Temperament and Decision Making
By Lynette Beer 01 Mar, 2023
Groovy Green hates making decisions – it comes with the temperament… He or she is a master procrastinator and good at passing on the decision-making buck. Feeling unworthy and not ‘good enough’, clever enough or competent enough to make any decision, is almost a natural reaction for our Green brothers and sisters.
