DEATH IS A PART OF LIFE…

Posted on July 27, 2015 Updated on July 27, 2015

There will be times that you feel life is completely unfair, your faith will be tested and you will question God. As you get older you will start losing friends and family members at an alarming rate, this is the reality of life. Are you being challenged and trying desperately to cope with the loss of a friend or family members death. Are you feeling overwhelmed by the loss of so many friends recently that are seemingly passing away each and every week? Losing people you were once close to is never going to be easy. There is a grieving process you will inevitably undergo. Keeping your own sense of calm and maintaining your friend’s memory are important elements of the grieving process. Accept that this is going to be a very hard, difficult and trying time in your life, but be reassured by a clear and rational understanding that you will get through this. That the best way to honour your friend is to keep their memory alive in your heart always. Allow yourself to cry and feel sad. Don’t let anyone tell you how long you should feel this way, everyone is different and handles things differently in their own special way and time, but it is going to be painful at best no matter what. Remember that it’s a pain that must simply be endured like a broken foot. There are things you can do to alleviate the pain for a little while, but it will eventually hurt again, until it fully heals. Believe it or not, as painful as this loss may seem, it will fully heal in time with a little time, patience and understanding. All we can do in the meanwhile, is try to be caring, compassionate, gentler, kinder, loving human beings in a world that all too often forgets. Life is short, share kindness with one another.
