I think this gets a lot of us in trouble because if it's not an option, we don't honor the marriage. Many of us don't realize how precious life is until we're faced with grave illness of impending death.
I've learned that nothing is certain and that's been a great lesson for me.
"As human beings we share a tendency to scramble for certainty whenever we realize that everything around us is in flux. In difficult times the stress of trying to find solid ground-something predictable and safe to stand on-seems to intensify. But in truth, the very nature of our existence is forever in flux. Everything keeps changing, whether we're aware of it or not. What a predicament! We seem doomed to suffer simply because we have a deep-seated fear of how things really are. Our attempts to find lasting pleasure, lasting security, are at odds with the fact that we're part of a dynamic system in which everything and everyone is in process." Pema Chodron

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
