"Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon.
and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight."
Rossiter Worthington
Sudden death can snatch our loved ones away in a heartbeat. This can happen so suddenly, it all remains a blur. We may feel frozen or suspended in time. Even when we do not wish this person to suffer with disease, or know death is coming, it continues to be difficult to accept death. Belief in eternal connection does not minimize our sorrow or the process of letting go.
We cling to favorite memories and recapture the sound of both joy and sorrow. In spite of believing in heaven and perhaps hearing a whisper in our ears, such sadness can prevail. Celebrations of Life can restore our emotional equilibrium and propel us forward while allowing time to heal.
What of the living, those still in our lives? We need to take the time to share how important they are to our life experience. Specific time needs to be allotted for lazy chats of love and laughter. And what of those who have been divided by difference? Is it not imperative to make amends before it is too late? Life is a blur without guarantee of tomorrow.
