Erm...I'm at a loss for words...probably because I heard about that tragic news too...I mean, who wouldn't be sad...I know I wouldn't, because I would be DEVASTATED!!!
Sometimes it's just the wrong time of your life..after that terrible incident, I ask God why does he could be so cold and unfeeling...at this particular time, one has to go through such phase despite it being the most crucial and critical year of one's life. And yet one has to suffer the loss, the pain...it's just so...unhumanitarian...but then again, I recall Uncle Harry's funeral last year..his son was also going through a difficult time after his passing away...so I reckon if his son can do it, nothing is impossible...near impossible, but never impossible...
Yes, time is definitely needed to alleviate the pain that the freshly cut wounds have inflicted upon one...and it would be preposterous to say that the wound is totally healed...scars would remain, but I guess it wouldn't hurt as much as fresh wounds would...
At least we know the bereaved's beloved has gone to Heaven, under the caring hands of God...sauntering the golden paths of Heaven..perhaps even preparing a room to await for one's arrival some day, some time...
And at this very moment, even though the feeling is not physical, but it would be consoling and comforting to think of it the optimistic way...maybe one is now under the watchful eye of one's beloved and constantly being protected..it would be better to conquer life's challenges with such perception...
But as for me, I've learnt a valuable lesson in life...to treasure the ones beside me, my beloved ones...because life is so fragile..it's difficult to anticipate and gurantee that the person who is currently right in front of you right now will still be here the next day...that's the problem with humans, we often take things for granted, that they'll always be with us forever...could God be telling us that we, as Christians, should cease thinking this way?
Right now, even though I'm not very close to the bereaved, but the only thing I can do for the person as a friend is to pray for him, that he'll brace up to walk this path as a renewed and happy person...
