Loss of A Parent
Death may be difficult to deal with but it is a way of Life. Some of us can deal with our loses , while others tend to fall apart when it happens. No Matter which way you handle it, it is never easy. Just when we feel that we have it under control our Memories recall little things or events that remind us of our deceased loved ones.
There are several things that may remind us of them. When walking around a corner, seeing a chair where they use to sit, expecting to see them sitting there now. Perhaps while eating a meal they use to enjoy so much. Perhaps we find ourselves using a phrase they used in certain instances. Even while watching a program they loved and watch faithfully. Another way may be when the phone rings, we pick it up expecting hear their voice. One of the hardest is during a certain times of the year or a holiday, when we enjoyed them most. Or as we hear their favorite song playing on the radio. We miss them most of all at difficult times in our life when we feel the need to hear them say “Don’t worry, everything will be alright. At these times we feel extremely alone and need someone to talk to, someone that we know would say just the right words to sooth our troubled heart.
There are just so many things to remind us of them. After all , it took a life time to become use to the fact of having them around, and in a short time they are gone. Adapting to the loss is easier said then done. We try to shut them out of our thoughts but those special s memories will always resurface .At that point we realize that it is those special memories that keep them alive in our minds and in our hearts forever.
People around us may never know what we are thinking or how we feel at a particular moment when they see a smile light up our face or a soft gentle tear trickle down our cheek. It is not for them to know or understand. It is just our simple way of handling certain situations.
No matter how we handle the moment we will always keep their memories safe in our heart and mind for the rest of our lives. If we are fortunate enough to have children of our own we pass the memories our loved ones down as thought they were super heroes. When in fact they were to us. Some day if we are lucky our children will feel the same way about us, as we did about our parents. Hopefully they will tell their children about us, keeping our memories and our parents alive forever.
Sleep well my friend wherever you may be.
