A cordial greeting to all the family of the
community. Today I join to participate in this valuable initiative promoted by our friend columnist
, referring to an important popular expression, entitled: "If I had known", which undoubtedly, has interpretations that can generate pleasant or unpleasant moments, depending on the result, it can be for the welfare or to break the block of that welfare. In my reflection, I will share two strong and hard moments, "that if I had known", maybe I would not have taken those steps.
Before developing my participation, I invite my friends
and
to join this initiative.
Si hubiera sabido el final de mi padre//If I had known my father's end.
Cómo sería la vida si supiéramos constantemente lo que va a ocurrir en el futuro. Tal vez sería dinámica, atractiva, aburrida o llena de miedos e inseguridad.
Si hubiera sabido que el día que llevé a mi padre a una clínica privada para una revisión médica rutinaria, seguramente no lo habría llevado, sabiendo que ese día sería hospitalizado y que sólo le quedarían 20 días de vida.
Es realmente duro y trágico, llevar a un ser querido a un chequeo rutinario y luego descubrir que tiene una enfermedad que sólo le daría 20 días de vida. No fue fácil ni soportable. Todo vino por sorpresa, no estaba preparado para esa mala noticia, que nos hizo llorar en tan solo 20 días de conocer la noticia y que el final era la muerte para mi padre.
Surge entonces la pregunta: "Si hubiera sabido ese fatal desenlace para mi padre, ¿qué hubiera hecho?
Si hubiera sabido de antemano lo que iba a pasar, sin duda, hubiera generado más preocupación, miedo y angustia familiar saber que mi padre iba a morir pronto.
Llevar una vida en paz y bienestar es aceptar la realidad de cada situación y comprender que el creador del universo tiene el control de todo. Hay que dejar que las cosas fluyan como un río deja fluir sus aguas, para aceptar que lo que pueda venir en el futuro es algo que puede o no ser evitable, pero que tiene que suceder, ya sea para bien o para mal.
What life would be like if we constantly knew what was going to happen in the future. Maybe it would be dynamic, attractive, boring or full of fears and insecurity.
If I had known that the day I took my father to a private clinic for a routine medical check-up, I surely would not have taken him, knowing that he would be hospitalized that day and that he would only have 20 days to live.
It is really hard and tragic, just to take a loved one for a routine check-up and then discover that he has a disease that would only give him 20 days to live. It was not easy or bearable. Everything came as a surprise, I was not prepared for that bad news, which made us mourn in just 20 days of knowing the news and that the end was death for my father.
The question then arises: "If I had known that fatal outcome for my father, what would I have done?
If I had known in advance what was going to happen, certainly, it would have generated more family concern, fear and anguish to know that my father was going to die soon.
To lead a life in peace and well-being is to accept the reality of each situation and to understand that the creator of the universe is in control of everything. We must let things flow as a river lets its waters flow, in order to accept that what may come in the future is something that may or may not be avoidable, but it must happen, whether for better or for worse.
Si hubiera sabido de la enfermedad de mi madre//If I had known about my mother's illness.
Una mañana acompañé a mi madre a una cita con el médico, pues le dolían las piernas y había perdido el apetito. Esa mañana me acompañaba una sobrina que mi madre crió desde muy pequeña.
Mientras tanto, el médico revisó a mi madre y examinó parte de sus pechos. Mi madre no quería que le revisaran los pechos, ya que era una de esas personas a las que no les gustaba mostrar sus partes íntimas a nadie. Lo cierto es que el médico la convenció y cuando le examinó la mama derecha, observó que estaba algo morada y agrietada. Le hicieron una biopsia y a los tres días le descubrieron un cáncer de mama que, según el médico, se había formado hacía aproximadamente un año y mi madre no mostraba ningún tipo de dolencia o molestia en ese momento. Era un cáncer que se había ido formando y cuando mi madre se enteró de la noticia del cáncer, en una semana la enfermedad la consumió porque psicológicamente mi madre se llenó de miedo y angustia, lo cual fue muy terrible.
Si yo hubiera sabido que mi madre tenía esta enfermedad desde hacía un año, seguramente hubiera actuado con mi familia y hubiera buscado recursos para terapias o cualquier otra cosa. La verdad es que mi madre nunca dijo nada ni se quejó de la enfermedad.
Hoy en día muchos familiares decimos esa expresión: "Si lo hubiera sabido
Realmente, es algo conmovedor y difícil de soportar, pero, saber algo de antemano nunca es malo, sino que ayuda a estar prevenido y actuar en el momento adecuado.
En la vida hay muchas situaciones en las que sólo podemos decir: "Si lo hubiera sabido".
One morning I accompanied my mother to a doctor's appointment because her legs were aching and she had lost her appetite. That morning I was accompanied by a niece my mother raised from a very young age.
In the meantime, the doctor checked my mother and examined part of her breasts. My mother did not want to have her breasts examined, as she was one of those people who did not like to show her private parts to anyone. The truth is that the doctor convinced her and when he examined her right breast, he noticed that it was somewhat purple and cracked. They did a biopsy and after three days they discovered a breast cancer that, according to the doctor, had formed about a year ago and my mother did not show any kind of pain or discomfort at that time. It was a cancer that had been forming and when my mother heard the news of the cancer, within a week the disease consumed her because psychologically my mother was filled with fear and anguish, which was very terrible.
If I had known that my mother had had this disease for a year, I surely would have acted with my family and sought resources for therapies or anything else. The truth is that my mother never said anything or complained about the disease.
Today many of us family members say that expression: "If only I had known.
Really, it is a touching and difficult thing to bear, but, knowing something beforehand is never a bad thing, but it helps to be forewarned and act at the right time.
In life there are many situations in which we can only say: "If only I had known".
