the meaning of loss.

I'm bad with loss. Maybe because I haven't experienced that crushing sense of hopelessness firsthand yet, but yes, I am bad with loss.
When a fellow human being departs, you can feel that sadness. Whether you have met that person before or just heard of them, it still pinches the soul. But when that person is a loved one, then the grief is unbearable. I can only try to imagine what this would feel like.
Loss comes with a lot of questions: Why them, Why now, How can He let this happen? And most often the grievers are left with no answers, just memories.
I wish bad things wouldn't happen to good people. And I wish everyone would find the answers they are looking for. If nothing then I hope they at least find the solace to believe in God and in hope. And I hope that God gives them the strength they need. No amount of inspirational videos or songs, no amount books and quotes may actually quell the grief in the heart of one who has lost. Loss is something you just have to feel to understand and you have to go through to triumph over.
My condolences to those who have lost a loved one. That person can never be replaced but will always live on in your heart.
I cant say anything more without sounding fake. Maybe silence is the solace. For those who need to cry, they should cry and for those who just need to get away from it all, they should. After all, what can one do?
To the ones who are gone, you will be loved forever and for always. Please bless and guide all those who love and give you a home in their hearts. You will never be forgotten.
