The pain death brings

The pain death brings

Hey there, how are you today?

Been over a week since you read from me. It is a result of the challenge life threw at me and my family. I lost my junior brother James to the cold hands of death on the 19th of July. He had been sick for over a year and could not go to school or live like his mates. He?suffered and my parents also suffered because they were in so much pain and worry due to his health. We thought he was getting better but the reverse was the case. My brother was not barely 16yrs old.?

The pain of losing a child is never easy for any family, especially the parents. I know what it is like even though I am not a parent yet. I watched my parents go through his illness and pain with him and I could see how they shared in his pain. It breaks the heart of every parent to see their child suffer and they watch on unable to do anything.?

It is even more painful when they have spent all they have or even borrowed and still end up losing their child. The pain of watching your child dying gradually before yours is unquantifiable. My mum was with my brother when he breathed his last and she carried his body in her arms so she knows the feeling.?

My brother has gone to rest, we miss him and we always will. There are so many memories of him that can never be forgotten.?

I know this relates to lots of parents and families. So many people are grieving the loss of dear ones and I know the feeling although it is different for everyone. I do hope and pray that you can heal from your loss. Take as much time as you need and be gentle with yourself. Your child, brother, or sister might not be so happy seeing you in so much pain. Make something beautiful of the memory you have of them.?

The consolation is that they have gone to rest from the pain of this world. We will definitely go to them someday. Love and light to all parents and families who have lost a dear one to death. May God console and heal you…Amen.

This candle is for the souls we have lost.

My heart goes to this family they just lost their only son and child. It was so painful when I saw the news yesterday. I couldn't put myself together to send a condolence message. It's not easy losing loved ones, seriously ??

Dear Oche Maria Faustina I am deeply sorry and saddened by your loss and what you and your family have gone through and still do. As a parent it’s so unbearable and I salute your mother for it. As a person who has lost a loved one and still every now and then struggle with the pain even after 2 years wanted to let you know life will teach us how to live with the memories and love. They are always with us. I feel my mother more than when she was alive. I am sending lots of love to you and your lovely parents and family and wish you peace in your hearts and soul. I have you in my prayers ??
