Mental Health - Widower Experience (WX)

Inspired by Amanda Gorman's Poem  "The Hill We Climb"  I wrote the following poem:  Since my wife passed away where can I find light - in this never-ending shade? As nothing feels anymore okay Every day is like a swamp - I must wade Since that awful, dreadful day. I cry my silent tears. It takes my breath away. The silence is deafening to my ears. Her present that filled our rooms at day and night. All this is gone, and all what's left is nothing but memories, And I miss her arms so much which hold me tight, all these memories lead me to silence and tears. But what made my day bright Was remembering Amanda Gorman's poem That there is always light If only we're brave enough to see it If only we're brave enough to be it Amanda Gorman's powerful poem at the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris:

In my other blog , I write extensively about AI, KI, ChatGPT, and other such topics. I have greatly enjoyed (and I still do it) my roles as an architect, designer, craftsman, paramedic, and more, mostly because they are all about serving people. Even though my work is often abstract and doesn't directly connect with emotional or spiritual aspects, I believe that everything I do is heartfelt and it's meant to touch another heart. Whether it's through creating human-centered designs or architecture, or by providing mental, psychological, and physical support, my aim is to make people feel good. In the end, I've noticed that poems, often written by empathetic people, are a wonderful way of communicating messages from one soul to another. And closing my introductory words - yes KI and ChatGPT etc. can write poems - but they do not come from heart and soul. People like Sarah Kay ...

Hier ist meine Gedanken zum Welttag der sozialen Gerechtigkeit - Es geht sich für mich um Verständnis und dem 'Leben von sozialen Gerechtigkeit' Jedes Jahr am 20. Februar begeht die Welt den Welttag der sozialen Gerechtigkeit, einen Tag, der von den Vereinten Nationen ausgerufen wurde, um die Bedeutung der sozialen Gerechtigkeit für den Aufbau friedlicher und gerechter und damit guter Gesellschaften hervorzuheben. Aber was bedeutet soziale Gerechtigkeit wirklich, und wie können wir sicherstellen, dass wir sie in unserem täglichen Leben verkörpern? Ich denke, im Kern geht es bei sozialer Gerechtigkeit darum, faire und gerechte Gesellschaften zu schaffen, in denen alle Menschen, Jede und Jeder, individuell leben kann und  die gleichen Rechte, Chancen und Privilegien hat. Es geht darum, sicherzustellen, dass weder die Umstände, in die man hineingeboren wird, noch Merkmale wie Rasse, Geschlecht oder Behinderung die Chancen im Leben bestimmen. Es geht darum, Barrieren abzubauen, di...

Understanding and Living Social Justice: My Reflection on the World Day of Social Justice Every year on February 20th, the world observes the World Day of Social Justice, a day proclaimed by the United Nations to highlight the importance of social justice in building peaceful and prosperous societies. But what does social justice really mean, and how can we ensure that we embody it in our daily lives? At its core, social justice is about creating fair and equitable societies where all individuals have the same rights, opportunities, and privileges. It's about ensuring that neither the circumstances into which one is born nor characteristics like race, gender, or disability determine one's chances in life. It's about dismantling barriers that create disparities in wealth, education, healthcare, and political representation. The World Day of Social Justice serves as a reminder that we are all interconnected and that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, as Mar...
