Winner

There should never be a loss as great as yours. BUT If you can possibly look at the bigger picture and realize that your loved one has just come to the finish line first, making them the 'Winner' at Heaven's Gate.

You have presented a very interesting thought here, Virginia. I enjoyed reading it. I would love to read more of your work.

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to this. I often feel somewhat different from others when dealing with death. I understand others' grief (since even I have had to deal personally with it) and the pain we carry but if they/we could truly think of it on another level it would almost be a good thing. Sound silly??? Maybe.
