Holding Hope
There is no easy way to receive news of loss nor convey it. It could feel like a jab at your heart when the loss hits closer.
When my father's brother died, the news was shocking, unexpected, (not that anyone expects anyone to die, unless of course circumstances of age and grave illness are at play) and painful for me. My hands went to my chest as if to console my heart. This uncle was the easy-to-flow-with type, always with a smile to give and a positive vibe around him. With the covid-19 situation from last year and years of not being in touch with him because he was occupied with work - always travelling, I heard - I had not seen him or spoken to him in ages. I just felt he was too young to die. But who is death ever giving prior notice to?
I'm sorry for your loss, brother.
ReplyDeleteAllow yourself to grieve, and I find writing as the best way.
If only death announced its coming, men would be better prepared.
Thank you.
