Loss of your loved ones.....

After a big tragedy a month back, I had enough time to think about this topic. I thought I will pen my thoughts about this in this post. Kind of philosophical though :)

"Death" - It can happen to anyone. Destiny can strike suddenly, changing your life forever.
When there is birth, there will be death, too. It is the universal law of nature, yet the human mind does not want to accept this truth.

When a loved one dies, our minds become numb. We want to cling on, we refuse to let go because of our worldly attachments and relationships.

I remember an age-old truth that crying, a human enters this world - and on leaving, leaves behind so many in tears. The way to remember your loved ones, who have quit the race of life, is to make their loss your strength, so that it transforms into the power that makes you strive.

Death is something which can be very sudden and unannounced. For some it is painful; for others, too sudden. There are souls waiting for death, there are souls escaping from death.

The death of a loved one can throw you into deep depression, and can wreck you emotionally, physically, mentally. But remember, there is not a single person out there,who has not suffered this pain. You can't escape from this. There is no other go. You have to live with it.

Death is universal. Dealing with the loss of a loved one is not easy; you have to however face it by holding your wits together.For yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery, today is the most important of all. Live every moment to the full. When my dad died, I was devastated. I was tempted to give in to emotions of revenge, anger, resentment and burning fury. Could this turmoil in me bring back my dad alive? No.

It's always very tough to overcome the loss of your loved ones. I know how painful it is as I have experienced very recently. One way to overcome the pain is cry out as much as you can.Do not feel ashamed of your sadness and grief by trying to contain or hide it. If you feel ashamed go to a lonely place ( your room) and then cry out your pain.Tears are always meant to cleanse and relieve. Pour your heart to someone very close to you whom do you think that talking to him/her will make you feel better. You will feel kind of relieved.

Though it's very difficult to overcome the loss, remember that "Love cannot lose itself" - Actually you have not lost. Your loved one is living in a new dimension, yet close to you. Probably your loved ones deservers a much better place than this world!

Loved ones remain close to our heart forever indeed !!! "Death means a void physical existence" , but still the soul keeps wandering and remains evergreen as always !!!

How very true Karthik! "Practical" is too overused an adjective to describe the spirit with which you have written this post..
What happens, just happens..sometimes much to our displeasure..But whatever we continue to have under control (th e present), we have to leave it unblemished by the past..
Keep posting Karthik..This is the first post I read..I didnt know you were into blogging..

Making the loss your strength is the right way to go-as u have rightly mentioned.In doing that they live forever because they always wanted you to move from strength to strength.
