Let your tears fall as they will, for now is the time of remembrance. Severe wounds in life never really heal, but they do become part of our memories and fade somewhat as the years go forward.
What seems to emerge simultaneously… almost miraculously, are the happier moments we spent with our departed loved ones, almost as a balm to help us through the days we have ahead. It’s a bittersweet irony of life, yet every one of these lovely moments helps us along as we make our way, day by day.
You will find yourself smiling as they come to you in the middle of your busy day, or even laughing out loud when they suddenly pop into your consciousness and you will never see them coming for such is the delicious serendipity of our lives, and a wonderful blessing… a palpable proof that we were, and will always be loved by these departed spirits. Savor these precious moments as they come to you, even though they are endless, for such is the beauty and fathomless depth of life’s greatest gift.
