Dealing With Death
Death, an integral part of the life-cycle that none of us can avoid.
Premature Death, when someone is taken from us way too soon.
That is the situation in our family right now.
Last Saturday, in the early hours of the morning, Farmboy’s cousin was taken in a tragic accident.
He rolled his ute.
His wife found him several hours later.
It’s just horrific.
He leaves behind 3 children - 12, 11 and 7.
I wish there were words that could convey how I feel.
Numb, sad, stressed, frustrated, angry, helpless….
And all the while, trying to help my children deal with what has happened and their own grief.
And support the family the best I can.
The funeral is tomorrow.
Another sad day.
Hopefully it can also be a day of healing.
A day to celebrate the life he had.
The first day of the rest of our lives.
Without him in it.
