Jonathan's Death
June 17th, 2020 Mark's oldest son died at the age of 30 years old. It's a pretty crazy story!
Did you watch the video of Jonathan's song? If not ... do that. If you did watch it again and read the lyrics as you listen to the artist who sang the song he wrote around six years before his death. ~ click here ~ The backstory of those things which bring us joy or heartbreak is often as valuable or even more than the situation. ~ click here ~ and see if you can have empathy for Mark, Rosanna and their children.
What's it feel like ... to invest 30 years into your son ... to see him born ... grow up ... to become an amazing man ... and then see him take his own life? Most people don't want to feel the pain ... which Mark understands. When we seek to have empathy to feel the pain of others, it's strange. Very strange. It's almost ... maybe like gaining much of the benefit of being awakened by death / other really hard things ... without having to actually go through it.
Hmmm ... that's a strange and interesting thought.
1-1: 5 Year Anniversary Date ~ June 17th, 2025
Mark was talking with a Jew who is a Buddhist, who said, "You can heal from anything by being thankful." Pretty interesting, isn't it?"
Interesting?
Mark also found that when we internalize our pain fully and realize that this pain has been allowed into our life to help us become all we were created to be ... that ... well ... as Mark would say, "When your life vision is bigger than death, you get over stuff." In other words ... you heal and become FAR stronger after the pain than you were before.
Mark shares that he was healed 24 hours after Jonathan's death. Mark also shares that "getting healed" was easy. The hard part is "staying healed."
