When we lose someone we love, a child, a husband or wife, parent, grandparent, cousin, aunt, uncle, or friend, our life is changed in a moment. One feels lonely, abandoned, and forsaken…life as we know it is forever changed.
“Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into a flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who rekindle this light.” (Albert Schweitzer)
The reality comes soon enough as the reality of the death hits all at once.
Through the support of family and loyal friends our light can be rekindled. Thank you to the people who never forget and stay firm as a friend as we wade into the murky waters of grief. Your outstretched hand is often the only thing that gives hope.
When you know someone is hurting…take time to stretch out your hand to them…grief knows no time frame…you don’t “get well”…rekindle their light…
