Hope - Hopeful memories lighten grief

Hope - Hopeful memories

"Do you sometimes feel like breaking free?"

"From what?" You might ask.

"From every bond formed, friendship, relationship, family, and every attachments."


Yeah, well I do, because sometimes when I am alone and my thoughts decide to travel, I realize that this life is temporary. The love and connection we share on this earth is just here and when we go to the great beyond, all of it just ends. I really don't know how dead people feel about severing ties with everything and everyone they hold dear.

It's a two way thing, isn't it? The living lost a loved one to the so-called "wicked claws of death" and the dead lost their entire world by embarking on a sojourn to another. I definitely do know how the people alive feel about the loss of loved ones. They feel the pain and find it hard to cope, well that's depending on the relationship (family, friend and colleague), but still no matter what type of relationship was shared, there is a gap felt.

So, why make all these bonds when you either get hurt (if the person goes first) or the other person does get hurt (if you go first 💀)... so... just cut all ties!

A quote from an anonymous author can be rephrased in the words:

"In the hearts of the ones that really love you, you continue to live your face in their minds, your presence in their lives begin to fade away over time, but one thing that will definitely live forever is the memories you have made.

So my dear that is still living, I know you are hurt because you feel death came too soon and took away your loved one. But, always remember in your heart the love you shared with your beloved and cherish the memories you made." - anonymous author

NB: Quote not from an online author

When I was reading the above quote, I experienced this feeling of detachment, I don't know if you felt it too. Like, I am saying I don't want to be with anyone again (I don't want to have friends, why do I have siblings, my parents, my cousins, my classmates, why can't every individual be a separate entity independent of any relationships?) but as I read through, I realized that I don't know how it will happen (am I seeing people die? or are people seeing me die?) But, I know I will grief over people and people will grief over me (there are over a billion people in the world, I couldn't possibly watch all of them die, I am not immortal).

So, I will try to make memories that will sustain me through the wait in this world without (them) and also sustain those that also wait in this world without (me).

I will forever cherish our beautiful memories my dear friend.

I don't know why I thought about this today (death should be the last thing on my mind) but please do take care of yourself. Put smiles on people's faces every time and try to reconcile with your friends. Don't get into silly fights because most times the last memories we make with people are what we truly remember, so don't let yours be full of regret.

Make memories that you would cherish and others can cherish too at the thought of you. And maybe at the end of it all, we would meet and be happy - as we have read in the books of old.

what a beautiful read from you..
I was just reflecting on this article as I was reading through...No one is gonna stay forever , one day, we'll leave those people we cherish and vice versa., but the most important thing is to make every moment of our lives count. it's very important.

observation

The quote you added to your article, if it's yours , try to indicate it and if it's taken online, try to make reference to it just like you did to the images you used..No one is perfect, so we get to learn new thing as time goes on.

Yeah , it's an interesting read from you, do have a nice day ☺️❤️

Thank you 😊.
Well the quote isn't mine neither was it taken online. When I was younger someone, I heard it from a family get together and it really did Inspire me alot but sadly I don't remember who exactly said it. And I would never take credit for what isn't mine that's why I indicated that it was anonymous.
But I will bear in mind to cite my sources. Thank you very much for the observation.

Greetings friend @icyink 🙂

Interesting way of exposing such a sad and meaningful experience as the death of a loved one with the fact of keeping hope alive through memories.

Because of our emotional nature, this kind of experience marks us deeply, and that is why we begin to miss and remember with nostalgia everything we have shared with people.

"Through what we manage to share with people, we will make moments come true that will later become our memories embroidered with hope." 🙂

Thank you for sharing this valuable post 😎 Greetings 👋👋👋👋.
