We all suffer the loss of loved ones and it can be very hard on us. But for me and I hope for you dear reader, the people closest to me live well within me, just as they always have, whether in life or in death.
There is no easy way to accept the loss of our loved ones but it is something we must do. One way which I find helpful in making this acceptance, and perhaps one that you share is a belief that death doesn't really exist but instead becomes life in another form and place, for I believe the spiritual being, our higher being, continues to live.
And in my heart each day, some of my departed loved ones reappear in joyous moments, as I recall something wonderful we did, a laugh we had or that person's wise words. This brings a warm glow within me, a glow I hope is bright enough for them to feel as well.
But it also serves as a reminder to make the most of the time we have with others while they are still here. For each day offers us an opportunity to express our love and joy to our loved ones and to make joyful new memories with them.
If you have recently lost someone very close to you, I offer you my heart, for I know how painful this can be. But in your grief and tears, make this a time when you hug those closest to you and tell them you love them and how much they mean to you.
Thereafter, tell them this time and again, as you would if you could directly express it to a departed loved one for expressing our love in this life is one of our greatest, most meaningful purposes and can give us the chance to revel in their joy as they respond to our words.

One of the worst losses anyone can bear is the loss of one's own child, even if that child has become an adult, for most of us are ill equipped to cope with so profound a pain. But as we often cannot control such an occurrence from happening, it once again makes it crucial to share all the love you can while you have the opportunity, knowing each day in your life and in your child's life is precious.
