・・・ Last week at the Life is Worth Living Event in Saskatoon, SK, I spoke publicly for the first time about my Life in HD. I shared about the things that brought my life into high definition, like my mental and physical health journey, losing my brother, and how I got from rock bottom to healing. A story of living from a place of barely surviving to a place where I feel like I am thriving, by aligning my mind, body and soul. I’m still mining the experiences as they are ever unfolding, and I know I will be sharing the ‘gold’ for years to come.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My hope is to continually shed light on the pain that we all experience to varying degrees, so that we can heal together; community is powerful medicine.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the words of Ernest Hemingway. “the world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places”.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you to everyone who came out, reached out, supported and shared in such a beautiful evening with us, it truly was a night we will never forget.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ~Kim⠀ @desireemartinphotography ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lifeisworthliving #repost #KimDerkach #holistichealth #holistichealing #healinggrief #griefempowerment #awareness #education #love #bodymindspirit #kindness #mentalhealth #grief #compassion

・・・ Let life crack you open.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let yourself stay open even when you want to close and retract.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Life is full of opportunities to close.  Something doesn't go to plan and we want to scrap the whole project.  We open ourselves up to vulnerability, and get rejected. We lose the possibility of a dream, and feel hopeless. We lose someone or something we love and wonder if we will ever feel true happiness again.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The challenge can be to keep your heart open even when you want to close it.  To push through that moment where you want to shut down, and instead to breathe into it, feel into it, and stay open anyway.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our hearts having been broken, they then can break open.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rumi said “the wound is the place where the light enters you.”⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are perfectly imperfect with our cracks, wounds and broken lines but through these fractures is where the inner light shines.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ~Kim⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lifeisworthliving #KimDerkach #repost #holistichealth #holistichealing #healinggrief #griefempowerment #awareness #education #love #bodymindspirit #kindness #mentalhealth #grief #compassion

Surrender to what is. Let go of what was. Have faith in what will be. I am continually being shown that I must be willing to let go of the life I had planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting. It takes courage to let things go, and to trust and have faith that things will work out in the best possible way. Faith does not make things easy, but it does make things possible.

・・・ As I write, I heal.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I haven’t always had an affinity for writing. However, since Danny has passed, I have focused on writing and journaling to express my heart and what I have experienced. I don’t always have the right words, but I do try and share honestly.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As I write, I grow.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I realize that as time passes, there is so much beauty in grief. It helps us realize just how enormous our love can be - which is ultimately why it can hurt so intensely to say goodbye to that person in the form that we knew them.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today I write...⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Dear Daniel, thank you for your life. Thank you for the love you brought to me. Thank you for being here. I know you are gone, but you are not. I know you wipe the tears from my face while I sleep. I know you are here, and you are gone. You are with me, I know you are. Remember all the lake trips, and the days in the sun? We had such a good childhood. I will always be your sister. It can be so hard for me here, but I will not let my light go out. I will try my best to live a life that ignites me; a life worth living. Thank you for your life. I love you, and I know you are free. This life may be long, but I will see you again one day. I will see you soon.”⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And as I write, I heal and grow.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you find healing in the process of writing or journaling?⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ~Kim⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lifeisworthliving #KimDerkach #holistichealth #holistichealing #healinggrief #griefempowerment #awareness #education #love #bodymindspirit #kindness #mentalhealth #grief #compassion #brother #deardanny

・・・ In our lives there can be an immense amount of pressure and a glorification of the constant ‘grind’ or ’hustle’ and a sense that we should always be present and available to everyone and everything. Rest can seem indulgent.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t believe there is anything wrong with working extremely hard, prioritizing your work and feeling so fulfilled that you spend most of your time pouring yourself into it. I do these things too. I think where misinterpretation lies is that taking breaks is a sign of laziness or a lack of motivation. That stepping away and prioritizing space and connection outside of the ‘hustle’ is not productive.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The practice of slowing down has allowed me to realize that in the past I hung onto my plans with clenched fists. I used to keep myself so busy with work, activities, and plans that I had no time to even ponder what the bigger picture for my life might be. I was bypassing my emotions with busyness.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This avoidance allowed me to crowd out creativity, love, sadness, loneliness, grief and time to think. It also crowded out growth, and forward movement. In 2013 when I experienced my health crisis, I was FORCED to slow down and REST. My body was screaming at me and I had no choice but to slow down for YEARS. It was through this slow period that I was able to begin to move forward again, in a new and more aligned way. ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What did this look like? It looked a lot like letting go. Surrendering. Slowing down. There came a point when it was time to stop frantically trying to control all my plans and outcomes. What I realized is that I simply needed to get out of the way and let it unfold. Now, I have let it all go, and am trusting that whatever and whoever is meant to be in my life will be. And whatever is not will go. And in that space, that beautiful, scary, empty space, new life, plans, beginnings and people will emerge, and it will be enough.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you are currently in a moment of transition or a rest period in your life, I want to remind you that it is okay, and that taking things slow might actually speed things up. Beginnings always hide themselves in endings.

・・・ I used to think that in order to be enough, I had to be perfect. Life had to be perfect. Now I know that being enough means simply accepting and embracing myself just as I am, work in progress and all. If we wait until everything is perfect to love ourselves, we won’t ever love ourselves because life isn’t meant to be perfect. It’s messy and it’s complicated and sometimes it’s extremely hard. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And that’s okay. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It is still enough. We are still enough. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wherever you are at in your journey, I hope you embrace it with compassion. We are always growing, evolving, and becoming. Being brave enough to risk the heartbreaks of life in order to realize the healing and wholeness on the other side takes courage. If no one has reminded you lately there is great meaning to your life and a completely unique assignment for you to fulfill. Without you, something truly precious and needed would be missing from the world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep fighting my friend. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep fighting for your health. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep fighting for your healing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep fighting for your wholeness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep going, you are infinitely more important than you may ever know. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You my friend, make life worth living. ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Xo Kim ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lifeisworthliving #KimDerkach #holistichealth #holistichealing #healinggrief #griefempowerment #awareness #education #love #bodymindspirit #kindness #mentalhealth #stigma #grief #compassion

Danny was my only sibling. . And without my brother, I wasn’t sure who I was anymore. We were, in so many ways, just beginning. We were best friends. We had a bond I can’t even begin to describe - we just got each other. . I assumed we would have decades and decades to mature, to weave around each other’s lives in new and layered ways. To hash over our childhood, compare notes, tracing the maps of how we became who we’d someday be. . Of all the relationships we have, our brothers or sisters are the ones we’re supposed to get the most time with. They’re the co-keepers of our childhood. They’re the people we compare and measure ourselves against—our brothers and sisters help mold our identities. . Nothing can erase the 25 years we had together, just like nothing can eliminate the grief of losing him. The loss evolves and unfolds over time, just as our relationship continues to grow in new and loving ways. . Danny taught me how to love selflessly and he will live on through me. His legacy will continue through my work, and because of him I know how to love myself and my family selflessly — the way he loved us. He was and always will be my motivation to fight through struggles, work hard, act without fear, smile through the pain, to dream bigger and make those dreams come true. . A piece of my heart will always live in heaven – Happy National Siblings Day <3
