Death

I do not deal with death.
It is that grey area between life and what comes next.
Never been something I like to have to deal with.
I am writing this at this time because another loved one is near death.
I am not there and feel bad because I dont know what to say to those that are there.
I care deeply but dont know how to console them ... or myself.
Death has always had a different meaning to me..my beliefs and hopes are not the same ..and I can be happy when someone has lived a good life and it reaches its end.. their reward will not be known to us mortals. And maybe never realized by us in this life.
Faith in what I do not know, must be the reward they receive.
We must suffer the loss of the loved one.
Their suffering is over..and faith tells me they receive the grand reward for being the one we loved and were loved by, in our lives.
Departure is not easy on the living.. but the ones that have suffered this life are now free..or will soon be free. We must take heart in the fact that the suffering will be forgotten and the peace will over take them, once this, our existence is behind them.
Being loved by them and the ones they cared for is what we have experienced.. love transcends all.. and we can hope to follow their
became they have showed us how it is supposed to be done.
I love you.
