The death of a loved one makes you look at life differently. Especially when that death comes too early. It takes the breath out of your lungs, leaving you unsure how to progress from where you are, wondering how to move on.
In the words of Madame de Stael, "we understand Death for the first time when he puts his hand upon one whom we love." So it is for me. Today I lost someone very close to me.
I am a Christian, and I believe in the Resurrection with all my heart. I have no doubts that I will see this dear one again, but still I feel the ache, still I sorrow. I don't sorrow for them - I know they are with a loving God in Heaven now - I sorrow for their family, for all those left behind.
Good-bye dear little one; God be with you, and with us, till we meet again.
