I just wrote you “ I send you a box of strenght “ I know it will not be enough and that you can only do this alone. But that is what friends do, and I needed a ‘post it’ to remember, while today, like all the other days its in your vains. Mums are the most special, and the missing grows after their passing day by day. Today is her birthday. So a lit candle for her and for the ones other lost or remembering.

I had my joungest ask me after the passing of my mother in law not so long ago, "Why does God take the good ones?" in reference to the death of their sweet grandma, and only the second person they lost in their young life. And who was not only a very good person but an excellent and practicing Christian in Holland.

I said, that the goods ones help him take care of us down here, but that was the initial comfort answer for my sweet young boy and for covering my own greef. Cause what is the best answer to give? And the fact I didn’ have the answer right there and than. This is a question that we have been asking for a very long time. It doesn’t seem “fair” that good people suffer illnesses and sometimes an early death while those that live for themselves & have no desire to know the lord or the person you think of in your religion, appear to live lives to be jealous of. And Christ being the faith here, but you can fill in any kind of religion or leave out and have none if you want to ofcourse, I am not judging. I an trying to say when you need an answer from something that is so outr of our hands that that is a very difficult task.

I read that the great Confederate General Robert E. Lee, viewing the carnage associated with the battle of Fredericksburg on December 13, 1862, is reported to have said to General James Longstreet, “It is well that war is so terrible; otherwise we would grow too fond of it.”  It’s because of war and losing those we love, that we don’t ever want another war. 

I know you reading here will have had the same experience when someone dies that the most difficult thing is coping. Feelings of greef, sorrow and hurt can make us do things different or nothing at all. Like we are frooze in time, and don’t want to move on at all. I was even mad that the world just kept turning while I was without myself and the only thing I could do was cry.

Note you my reader and self :

its ok to cry, and its ok to cry ALOT and it also ok to cry FOR DAYS, and its also alright to cry on special day like today. ALOT IS OK ASWELL.

But unfortunately the same could be said for why we lose some of “the good ones” far too soon too. If death only took the old and the sick then we would become all too complacent and feel that we have all kinds of time to live the way we want – as long as we make ourselves right with God when we get old and before we die. Not the right path to go. Wishful thinking and i would be ugly.

In reality, nothing really separates any of us when it comes to dying at a young age or living to be 100 years old. What separates us is what we have done with the time thats been given us. Therefore, there are “the good ones” and the not so good ones. The number of years we live isn’t what’s important at the end – it’s what we did with those years that matters and determines if others look at us when we die as having been “one of the good ones.”

She was line of the good girls, mums are special.

So yes dear today will be hard, and together with all thats going on online and real time its a lot, but the angel above knows you can do this, and the strenght within you is there to use now when its needed. And again the NOTE to reader and self said :

ALOT IS OK ASWELL

Farewell to her, may she rest well.
Life never remains the same after the death of a loved ones especially the ones we consider as 'good' no wonder Jacob wants to mourn his son Joseph to the grave when he learned about his death though it was fake.

I hate the separation and grief we have to bear but only God has the answers to all our questions.

Beautiful @brittandjosie my friend. Losing anyone is hard, a parent is worse than anything, other than possibly a child.
These are good words, of strength and understanding.
Much love to you

I saw her post about her mum's birthday. I suppose with all the moving and construction, must be why she isn't around a whole lot right now.
Everyone does their grieving differently, but no matter how, it just takes time.
Be well @brittandjosie

I always say it, parents should be eternal, unfortunately this is not the case, and when they leave us they leave an irreplaceable void.
