I don't even know what to say right now, my emotions are all over the place. Over the course of two months there have been seven people who have passed away (either that I have known directly or a loved one of someone close to me) Yesterday a co-worker died of a massive heart-attack (I just saw him earlier that day). It's getting to the point where it just seems so surreal, like some big joke and they're all going jumped out from around the corner at any moment. The last time I dealt with these many deaths clustered together like this was my senior year in High School. That year I attended five funerals, all of friends I went to school with.
My heart is just aching for the families and friends of those who have gone ahead. I never realized that my heart could hurt so much for others. I know what it is like to lose someone close to me and I do not wish that upon anyone. But at the same time I know that is un-realistic, death is an inevitable part of life and we will all experience it, directly or indirectly. I know that they are in a much better place but that doesn't ease the pain any. My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to those who are dealing with the aftermath of losing someone. I pray that God's peace and comfort would encompass you and those around you.
"The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace."
-Psalm 29:11
