When you realize they are living in a wonderful existence together, it makes the loss bearable.
I had a young girl in my Sunday School class that lost her Mom to cancer at the age of three. She was adopted by a couple in our church, only to lose her adopted mother to cancer at the age of 6. Just last month, she lost her adopted father due to a fatal heart attack at her track meet. She graduates from high school this Memorial Day. I taught her for so many years and now she is teaching me. Her faith in God is so strong she has been able to deal with her great losses. I told her how very proud I was of her and she told me that when she feels alone she remembers what I had told her when she was very young that just because you can't see the wind doesn't mean it isn't there. She says she may not be able to see God or her parents right now, but she never doubts that they are always right with her. And I too know they are! |
Not to turn this in something religious but I wanted to say Amen to that one. At 19 I found God and he became my Mother, my Father and everything to me. He made me appreciate those days with my Mom and gave me a purpose and a goal to be with her again oneday. You will always have your Mother and Father there with you in spirit hold on to that because it can really help you get through it.
