Being my age, I have experienced some tragic deaths of those I truly loved. One of them was one of my closest friends, my own grandmother, Gail. She was always there for me, and when we weren’t around eachother, we would send e-mails to one another. She was a great friend and grandmother, so I understand what it means to face a tough loss. That may be why you are reading this is because you have lost a loved one, or maybe a friend or family did. Well this page isn’t going to ease your pain, but it will have advice as I try to help you out.
To start with is the hardest part to accept right after a death of a loved one, but death is a part of life. We all face it at the end of the road on Earth. But God has promised us all eternal life if we follow His word and live in His light. When facing a loss of a loved one, whether it be a grandparent, a parent, or someone outside of the family like a girlfriend or wife, it is always crucial to do one thing…think.
What to think? Try thinking about what they would want you to do with your life instead of living it unable to accept their death. For example from personal experience, I know that losing my grandmother was a hard part of my life, but I took time to think in my own little area (which is my room in my case) and I thought about what my grandmother would’ve wanted me to do and I accepted her passing.
Now to accept a loss doesn’t mean to forget about it and them. It means that you are able to know that its done, and that they are in a better place. We all see them again if we continue on the right path towards Christ. Live tall. Stand proud. Some advice I have when I am typing this is when I typed ‘live tall’ is if it’s hard to live without them or accept their loss in life, a good way to cope would be to live life for the both of you. Try that. Maybe you’ll have an easier time getting through it now. I’ll post more about this topic later on so keep your eyes open.
I’m sorry for you who are reading this and lost someone close to your heart. If you need personal assistance please let me know. I will be able to help. Don’t take my age lightly. Helping my family in Christ is what I do. Till next time, May God Bless You!
