They're still around us

     It is already hard to understand the world around us and our purpose in this earth; it is even harder to understand the cease of existence of a person. 

     We can all relate because we've all lost someone close to us and as we get older, unfortunately, that number only increases.

Society has taught to cope with these painful moments to think back to who that person was in our lives, the impact they made, and how amazing they were at being alive. But what if we taught forward to what these people, that are long gone, will do for us in the future?

Many think negatively about death, as they rightfully should, because it ends someones existence in the world we live in. We cry, we suffer, we beat ourselves for not having done something before they left, we question our actions and past events, and ask ourselves what if..."what if [I, he,she, they] had done something different?" Would it have prevented it? Would it have made a difference? All we are left with is a mind full of questions that will never be answered.

     So how to begin to look at things with a new perspective? What made that person so special and significant in our lives? Probably they were family, friends, teachers, or just someone we never personally knew but looked up to. No matter what, while they may be physically gone, those people will ALWAYS be there for us, with us, and among the living.  They live in our memories and our mind and sometimes those thoughts are even stronger than reality.

The people that are gone will continue to affect our lives because we function by learning from experiences. We will continue to remember and apply whatever impact they had, even the most insignificant thought, to our daily routine. Our memories will be flooded with those great moments that will become the entity of our loved ones in our minds.Because they are also still with us in our hearts.

     It is very hard to loose someone but we can only hope that one day we will all reunite, wherever it may be.
