Que Sera, Sera - Whatever Will Be, Will Be

25 April 2025

Good Friday morning EB Community!

This morning, I took a photo that perfectly captured the mood in my heart—peaceful, open, fun and joyful.

It’s been one week since my final appointment with my stroke doctor, who said the words I never imagined hearing last June: “You’ve graduated. You don’t need to come back.”

What a journey it has been.

Looking back, I remember those early days when all I could do was lie still, unable to even open my eyes, retching every time I moved. In that darkness, I did the only thing I could—I looked up. To God. For help. For healing. For comfort. For life itself.

During those weeks, I truly lived out “Que sera, sera”—whatever will be, will be. I had to let go of all control. Others made decisions for me. They even had to feed, wash and clean me. I could only rest, trust, and hope. Can you believe I didn’t even see myself in a mirror for weeks? I couldn’t even comb my own hair!

But here’s the thing: once I felt better and was discharged, my recovery only truly began when I took responsibility for my own healing. I crafted my own treatment regime—based on faith, wisdom, experience, and lots of research. I carefully selected what to take and what to let go of. I listened to my body. I prayed. I walked. I nourished myself. I chose to live.

Now, months later, I smile as I walk, take photos, sip tea, drink my coffee, and soak in the simple joys of life. This light-hearted tune from the past now carries new meaning for me—not as a shrug of resignation, but as a gentle anthem of surrender and personal responsibility.

‘Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’ (Jeremiah 33:3)

‘Behold, I will bring you health and cure. I will heal My people and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth’ (Jeremiah 33:6)

So here’s my encouragement to you:

No matter how dark the season, look up. Rest in what you cannot control—but when strength returns, take action. Learn, grow, and walk boldly toward your healing. You are not alone.

Yes, whatever will be… will be.

But healing happens when we partner with what can be.

It a beautiful day to celebrate life!

Lots of love,

Rosemary
