"MY BROTHER -IN- LAW PASSED AWAY THIS MORN. FEEL QUITE UPSET NOW."
It is very easy to share your happiness with someone. You can do that to a stranger passer-by as well. But sometimes it becomes so difficult to share your grief even with your closest acquaintance. It's so strange how some people can make you feel so special by sharing their grief with you. A friend of mine just did that - made me feel so special and important. The friend was really upset...lost a close relative...forever. But I am not sure if my words were soothing enough to comfort her. I am worried for her...more so, because she counted on me in time of a crisis. I hope I was of help.
Death is so difficult, so unacceptable. We all know it's coming, yet we are never ready for it. It's inevitable. From the moment we were born, we have been taking baby steps, sometimes running towards it. It's just round some dark corner...only a matter of 'when'...but it's painful, all the same. Bonds, that you nurture with love and care, are suddenly let loose. Death just comes and snatches your loved ones from you, no matter how hard you try. And all you are left with is loss - beyond words, beyond imagination. A vacant that will never fill, a wound that will never heal...the absence remains for a lifetime.
But you can't really do much to help yourself. I couldn't do much to help my friend. She was upset and i think it's a bit okay to feel upset when you have lost someone. Saying 'good bye' has never been a very fruitful occasion. And 'good byes' fro life are very very upsetting, heart-wrenching. Nothing seems comforting, no wise words are enough...your heart is being hammered repeatedly and you feel like wailing like a new born infant. The lives, that are lost, are very special. So special, they do not deserve to be forgotten. Let them live among us, within ourselves, smiling through our eyes. Why not let theirs spirits live wonderful afterlife through our remembrance.
May all those loved ones we've all lost Rest In Peace...because they know that they still live within ourselves.Condolences to each one of us who have lost and learnt to live...one more time.
