Heaven is something my heart is set on. Living for eternity is within my bones because God has created us to last forever with him.  With this breathed into our inner most being, having to say goodbye to someone is literally heart-breaking.

To the human understanding it is close to impossible to fathom the concept of “goodbye” when the breath of eternity is woven in our hearts.

Yet despite acknowledging this, we are still left behind hurting and confused. So many of us have faced deaths’ nasty sting and are yet to recover. How are we supposed to move forward in joy and triumph if bit by bit we saying goodbye to another piece of ourselves through those we love and lose?

Through the pain I have seen from a lost loved one I have learnt a few things that have helped me look forward and up.

Five lessons learnt from Death:
I have learnt that the now will never add up and if I try make sense of it I will lose the vision to focus on the future and the beauty that lies within it.

I have learnt that one’s life is truly in the hands of the Beholder. Taking time to value MY life and those IN my life will never be of wasted time or effort.

I have learnt that if I truly want to move on, to stop the pain from impacting my life and to function even great than I did before my loss, the decision lies within my mind and heart. I have the power to piece my life together.

I have learnt that handing my broken heart and shattered logic to God is honestly the only “dump” that has the ability to change my life entirely.

I have learnt to trust my Heavenly Father with my life and the lives of those around me. No news is new news to my God. He is the author and creator of time. In Him I will trust.

What part of death is fair? It is not. We don’t live in heaven, but in a fallen world. But one thing that is guaranteed – there is a God who will hold your hand as you pick yourself back up again and He will never fail to show you the beauty that lies within your loss.
