What is the proper way to say goodbye!!


Dying…Is part of life, there is no escaping it, it is what it is! Young, old, guilty or innocent or what race you are, death doesn’t discriminate if it’s your time then death comes to collect you. But no matter how you look at it or from what angle, we never understand why a person has to die.  When someone old dies it’s still very sad, but I do understand that their time is up and they have to move on. But is someone young dies it’s so much harder to understand. 

After being stuck with the flu most of the week and still reeling from the death of my neighbors dear, dear sister and of course the sad ending of Max’s little friend Trixi. I had to man up and go to the funeral, talk about a sad story, this was indeed very sad. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to speak to the family after the funeral, to be honest the whole ceremony wasn’t very personal.  I my country it’s normal to give your condolences to the family so , me not being able to do so gave me a bad feeling and to top it all off, it was raining too.  

We don’t understand and can’t comprehend what happened after that , we get angry and then the world comes crashing down and we finally are able to grief and give it all place in our heart.
Some grief for months, some grief their whole life and then there are those who celebrate the life and all of the years they had the deceased in their midst.  And that is a beautiful way to remember, unfortunately not all of us are so fortunate to feel that way when a loved one dies.
But as they say life does go on. And in time we do all the daily things we did before again. Go to work in the morning, grocery shopping, gardening and eventually we will have fun again to.

Life really does go on!
