losing a loved one.
life is just a mist.... a vapour.here today and gone tomorrow.
there was no chance for last words.
no chance for a final goodbye.
suddenly when a loved one is taken away,
one is caught off guard.
when the truth sets in,
in the deadly silence of the night,
that's when the tears will flow.
that's when the memories will come back.
that's when the regrets and questions will surface.
that's when all one can do is to cry uncontrollably.
years and years of pain.
which even time can never take away.
things that she likes to eat.
things that she keeps in her room at home.
places that they have been together.
conversations they have shared.
laughter they have had.
meals they ate together.
all these things will bring back an aching pain
deep in the hearts of her family and friends.
Lord, comfort M, comfort her family...
be near to them dear Lord....
in those moments of sorrow.
quietly and gently let them know
that You are carrying them through.
help me to trust.
