Those words…….
When talking to friends or family and hearing those words,.. the ones that could be… “Passed…. No longer with us …Deceased……No longer living….. Not alive anymore….Dead…Murdered” ….. whichever description is shared, it’s never going to be easy to take, it’s never going to lessen the initial blow. Obviously the last one in Ann’s case has never been proven so we can’t legally make that statement..
When that dreadful thing happens to 99.9% of people it’s sad, it’s heartbreaking to those nearest and dearest, in Ann Boroch’s case it had a negative impact on thousands, even hundreds of thousands potentially…..
So on August 1st 2018, one year after that dreadful day should we cry and be mad at the injustice…. to a certain extent yes, but nothing we say or do can change what’s happened, so rather than thousands filling our personal air with negativity, we should all give thanks that we know of an amazing, beautiful person, a woman dedicated to helping others rid their body of a debilitating disease. I didn’t know her personally, but having read her books and heard from someone that did know her, I believe we should all feel blessed that we are able to experience and share her efforts, her dedication that is now, and will continue to change lives..
On August 1st I personally will think of myself as very lucky to have indirectly known her, and to recognize and acknowledge her achievements as a certified nutritional consultant, naturopath, educator and speaker…a lover of life… Ann Boroch, I salute you….R.I.P.
