Answer from Master Kosen

Let’s say you are disoriented. Come now, your mother is alive, perhaps more than before, and she expects you to live what you have to live and, above all, to be happy.
To love is above all to be happy. Feel your mother in your heart, how present she is, how she loves and helps you.
Give all that back to her through your joy in living, drawing strength from this new relationship, which is entirely real and magnificent.
Be happy.
