As I just left facebook, I read a post asking if it ever gets easier. She was referring to the death of a loved one. Made me think, we have just gone through Memorial Day and all remembering the deaths of our soldiers. It also makes us reminisce about our dead loved ones.
Under the best of circumstances, it is so hard to say goodbye to loved ones. Under the most extreme circumstances, sometimes just downright unbearable.
The best thing to get through the death process is faith in God and depending on the unconditional love of others.
On the flip side of the coin, if it is our friend or loved one hurting, we need to be the one giving the unconditional love. Maybe we have encountered hard feeling somewhere along the way...time for forgiveness. Life is fleeting, by the way.
Life is too short to harbor ill feelings. Some of the things we just can't "forgive and forget....just "Give it to God and get over it". Press on to something more important.
The best thing we can do for our deceased loved ones is to have fond memories but not live for them as if they are coming back. They aren't but we will all rejoice again in our heavenly home. (Just make sure that you are on track for your heavenly destination.
This has been a gloom and doom writing today but it was so heavy on my heart, just had to share. I hurt when my friends hurt and sometimes words just do not do the trick to ease their pain and give them comfort.
Don't worry about getting to close to someone for fear of them dying, leaving or drifting away from you. Any time you spend building a relationship it time well spent. Enjoy your loved ones, your friends , and yes, even embrace those who have hurt you. They may just be the one to help you the most in your time of need.
Saying a prayer today for those of my friends hurting from losses,
Vera
