No, I am not talking about heaven or hell. I am talking about living after someone you love has died. Living is hard on the easiest of days. You already have the stress of a normal day. The comings and goings of work or school, or the Haz-Mat unit needed to deal with your children. It is the nature of life to be hard.
What I am speaking of is living when you feel like your world has slipped into a black hole. Where the pressures of the grief and sorrow you feel press into you like an eternal vice. It feels like a weight on your soul that is doing its best to squeeze the life out of you. You feel like the world has stopped at this moment and it will never move again.
Believe me in this, it is a temporary feeling. You world will restart. It will not have the same motion, but it will move again. What you need to think of is what that person would have wanted for you. Think of what that person felt for you, and what you felt for that person. Respect that. Remember that they wanted the best for you and to do otherwise would only sully their memory. Do your best to make your life mean something. live life to the fullest. Do your best to live your life in dedication to them. Try to make your life mean enough just by living it that it makes the memory of them proud. They have died yes. And it will hurt for a long time. But what you must understand is that your life is no longer just yours. Their memory is now a permanent part of your life. Live for them as well as for yourself. It is the best gift you can give them. To make sure that you live, and let the love you have for them show through in the life you live.
