When a person passes on to the afterlife, mourning is a natural process. But there is so much more about the person that mourning just doesn’t cut it.
We miss them when they are gone. All the sadness and pain of losing someone help us remember—the joy, the care, the love, the thoughts. We get to see ourselves: what we long for, what we care about, and what we want to be seen and heard for.
We are grateful for their existence, regardless of how long or how short.
We are changed because of a decision they made, an action they took, a word they said.
Because of them, we know what to do when we want to extend the generous action and a word, just like they did.
Celebrate a life.
Because of them.
