Hi , I had planned to write about another topic - something related to fitness and health, I can’t really remember… I just know I couldn’t get myself to do it. Do you ever feel that way sometimes, when the weight of your emotions feels like everything is impossible to do? That’s how I’m feeling today. You see, today is supposed to be my older sister’s birthday, six years ago we lost her to a car accident. Hers was a beautiful life cut too short. Gone too soon from this world. This feeling of loss is hard to describe, given how close we’ve always been. And although it’s been six years... The pain of that loss still affects me. I’ve wondered and questioned why in the beginning. Even after all the tears I cried in my pain and grief at the loss, a part of me is always hurting knowing she’s no longer with us. But in the end, I’ve found some peace, in knowing that she’s with our Creator. Loss is something many of us has had to cope with. Maybe it’s the price we pay for letting people get close to us. But it’s better than the alternative, to not let people get close at all. Living with the pain of loss is always easier than living with loneliness. And maybe that’s my message for you today. To remind you that loss can be a beautiful reminder that we’ve let people into our lives and into our hearts, even if they’ve left us in the end. Losing people in life should also give us more appreciation for the people we’ve found. For the friendships we’ve made, and the family we still have by our side. Thank you for taking the time to read my email today. Though we might not know each other personally I appreciate being able to share with you my thoughts and feelings with you. Sometimes just being able to share your feelings helps a lot in processing those feelings positively. If you ever want to share your feelings just write back to me. I take the time to read my emails when I can and will reply back once I get a chance. Matt Abraham |
