Life like a mist. Appears today, disappears tomorrow. Tears roll down my chick as i write this visit to a family. Today she's happy next day she's crying. It's hard not to see her in our Christian gatherings and on time too. One this day, we didn't see her even my three years old niece was asking after her every minute. Was later that the husband whispered to our ears that she lost her brother to the cold hands of death in the early hours of the morning. After our Christian meeting that afternoon everyone found the road that lead to this woman's house to go comfort her. One thing i have learned about this situation is you can easily say sorry when you're not the one and have the feeling that the person should come around immediately, No it doesn't work that way. But when it happens to you then you'll know.
Barely three days after the visit i lost one of my Uncles, my mom couldn't hold herself and she and her siblings couldn't bring themselves to telling my grandmom considering her situation. My mom told all my other siblings but could not tell. I mean she knows better than telling me. My brother couldn't keep it to himself, he had to tell me. Me that was consoling someone three days ago was unable to console myself. Infact i didn't sleep till day break and i developed an emergency fever. How didn't i know this? I asked myself. In any case my Uncle was hale and hearty what could have happened to him? An answer that haven't be gotten till date.
For loosing a loved one in death can tear one apart, it hurts and overwhelming. Although the Holy writing at Ecclesiastes 3:2a made it clear that "there's a to birth and a time to die." The dying part of that verse puts those who the deceased left into mourning state, because nobody knows the time, it comes at any moment unexpected. While some morn and come around, to some things are never the same again.
The death of my Uncle isn't just the death that has happened to my family and i believe am not the only person that has lost loved ones. As i am consoled with what's written at the Holy writing of Revelation 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." With this i have learned to console myself and comforting my friends with this promise that will surely happen.
