When someone you love dies
A part of yourself dies too
For as much as that person’s life did not belong to you
Your heart belonged to them
You feel a physical hurt
Even when you do your best to cherish every moment with them, you will never be ready to let them depart
But what I have discovered and I’m sure mami is helping from the sky
Is that our loved ones never really leave us
Physically they leave us, but spiritually they don’t
And that our task is to let people we have loved and lost be alive in ourselves, memorializing their significance.
“Anybody who has lost someone they love has to find a new way of loving that person, since hugs and kisses are no longer an option.”
We don’t have to say goodbye.
Our mom lives still and forever with and through each and everyone of us
I hope you will read what you wrote whenever you are feeling down to remind yourself that she is merely physically gone but her essence remains in your heart and soul forever. Her love for you will always be reflected in every moment you live, in your love for others, in your behavior, in the way you think, and in the way you someday will love your own children. What you wrote comes from deep down in the heart and shows great strength. Your angel will always be there.

This is so true ya Rania! We are never ready to let someone go, and more, we will be never ready to leave one day too. There should be something beyond death that makes it just a passage not an end.
ReplyDeleteHow great is the love that goes beyond death! Amina's love will always be present!
