Nothing To Be Understood...


     Death is such an odd part of life, but it is a very real part of life. When someone you know and love dies, the feelings you experience can be unexpectedly surreal. You may not understand how you feel, and you may not understand how others feel because everyone deals with this inevitable event in different ways.
     Some may feel it is not okay to be happy when one dies. 
     Some may feel that the world should stop.
     Some may feel like they will never live another joyful moment again.
     But…
     Life has to go on. That’s how our deceased loved ones would explain it to us, I think.
Of course, being sad is something that we will all experience when death happens, but I feel that it is important to also be celebratory of the passing one’s life. Life is the greatest gift we will ever be given, and we must remember that it is something to be cherished- even long after we are gone.
     The gift of life is turned into a giant accomplishment once it comes to an end. Yes, life is about living and loving, but it is also about leaving your mark and affecting people positively even in the smallest ways. Sometimes, it is often difficult to realize these small gestures while someone is still alive in the physical world, but their passing will prompt many reflections from everyone who knew the person who has left.

The last breath is the finish line. When one crosses, they have finally made it.

     Death may seem unfair and awful and undeserving, but we cannot question it. We are all given an amount of time here on earth to serve our purposes, and while some time may seem cut short, and while it may be hard to understand what purposes we have served here, when we leave, it is because the time has come and our duties have been fulfilled.
     We may never fully understand the concept of death, but we don’t have to. All we need to know is that everything will be okay. Life is life, live.
