The passing of a loved one is always a time for reflection, reminiscing on what was and could have been and almost always a time of regrets for the things we should have or shouldn't have said.
The dearest person I've lost to the cruel hands of death was my god mum,she was truly an amazing woman. She always had a kind word and was always teasing us and making jokes but knew when it was just right to bring the stick out :). She was the type of woman who always had a crowd at her home, she would literally pick people off the streets, take them home, feed them and get them jobs so they could survive and stay out of trouble,that's how loving she was and i will never forget her.
The death of a young person is usually harder to deal with, because it seems like such a waste to be cut short at such an early age. The bigger deal is, no one should have to bury their child, its just heartbreaking.I recently lost a relative, i wasn't close to him but i felt terrible because he was barely thirty and his dad died two years earlier leaving the responsibility of taking care of the family to his mum and him, being the first son. I cannot begin to imagine his mother's pain, its gut wrenching to even try to imagine.
I can only pray that God gives the family the grace to deal with this sad passing and the courage to persevere even when things seem at its bleakest.
And to you who has lost someone you love dearly, peace be with you, i reach out to you and embrace you with all the love i can give. The pain will not always be crippling, it'll pass and you'll always have those beautiful memories. Make the best of your life, give them reasons to smile down at you and go, "That's my darling." Xoxo
