Getting Past What Holds You Back with Baby Boomer Weight Loss Expert Scott 'Q' Marcus
– Mahatma Gandhi
There is no happy way to bid someone you love a final farewell.At best, it’s a melancholy affair; at worst, it’s a heartbreaking loss from which you’re sure you can never recover.
Consolation can feel impossible after the loss of someone dear to you. While you know, deep down, that death is an integral part of life, a piece of you goes wherever your loved ones do, and when they pass, the piece goes with them.
Without death, room for new growth would never be made. Progress forward can’t happen without losses from the past. From every farewell, there comes a new hello.
These are among the multitude of wise lessons to be learned from a person in the last leg of their life—either directly from their words, or merely through their experiences. Knowing how to approach the situation as a learning experience will help you move through the process and maintain your own life.
Any of us who’ve been at the bedside of someone we care dearly for while they move from this world to the next knows a few things:
Something about the playfulness, combined with the words he chooses, really speaks to me. I have even subscribed to his daily newsletter (which I rarely do with anyone else).
Last December, my wife and I were going on vacation and spent some time in a little shop in Sacramento, CA the night before we boarded our plane. In that store was a huge collection of his cards, prints, books, and sculptures. I told her, “If you ever want to get me a good present, just get something from him.”
She got me a print of this image.
Having said that, the beauty that comes from their instruments – and their spirit – will lift your day. Amazing video.

But here’s the thing: I feel like the higher powers are trying to teach me some lessons. Why? Because I have become complacent with my family…taking them very for granted and allowing life to pass us by. He knows I am full of love for them, but in the routine we get into, I don’t always make special time to build relationships.
My husband and I have a whole clan. I’m serious. I have four sons, he has four sons and a daughter. Since we have been married, we have acquired two daughter-in-laws, a son-in-law, and have a baby girl on the way. Recently, we lost a little grandson. I told you we were an enormous family!
