Life

There is life after death Not the way you are thinking There is life after death for the ones left behind We will always remember the loved ones Always think of the good times past We will remember the good things they did Forget the times they made you angry or hurt you All these things are in the past You have a life to keep living A reason you were left behind Make sure you live the life you have to the fullest You are not being disrespectful You are human and deserve to be happy God left you behind for a reason Be the best you can be in every way Just be the wonderful being that you are.

I see you have been busy. I believe we should live in the moment and still I hold to the knowledge that this life will not be the end of us. I enjoyed this thought provoking write.

You are so wise, Mama Bear. Ah...I was reminded of my MAMA today, and I got teary eyed. It's been fourteen years. She is never far away...for she is in my heart. I know you have experienced loss as well. Thank God for the hope we have in Jesus. If he had not risen from the dead...our hope would be futile. I know a better day is coming...a reunion day. Mama won't be sick anymore...Mama will smile and sing...I pray to be there to see her well and happy. Bless you for this write. Hugs from Beirut.

Our losses make us stronger. As long as we keep living after. Hugs from Canada Edith

Having lived with loss I know how it feels. We feel guilty to have been left behind and can continue living. Love them while they are here but live like there is no tomorrow after. Blessings Edith
