A life forever gone

Author

There are no words to express the pain felt when a loved one passes away; it is as if a piece of our soul broken by the pain decided to also leave with them. This important part of our existence is one that we can never be ready for. It always takes us by surprise, when we least expect it, leaving a big empty void in our hearts.

Life brings us these experiences to show us how vulnerable we really are and during these circumstances I can’t help but think about how much we take for granted the people in our lives. Moments such as these are a strong reminder on how important it is to enjoy every single minute of our existence here on earth, we must learn to show our love and our appreciation to those wonderful people who with their presence have made an impact on our life.

Life is too short to live it sad, worrying about shallow things, because when the people we love are gone the only thing that is left is the grief and the regrets of what we could have done differently to have spent one last moment of joy with that person.

Our life can be taken away in a flash, one minute we are here and the next we can be gone. So let’s learn to cease each moment and embrace life like it is the last day of our existence; learning to live it with love, leaving all the grudges and resentments behind, learning to forgive those who have caused us pain but most importantly living from our hearts.

I invite you to open up your hearts and fully embrace those loved ones whom you have lost touch with throughout the years, take a moment to make amends and let go of your pride by letting those you care about know how much you really love them. Don’t waste any time leaving things for tomorrow because in reality today is all we have and tomorrow may never come…

In memory of those who have passed away and have left a mark in our lives
You will be forever missed.
