During tough times, it's better when you have someone to be with. You might not be experiencing the same thing but you definitely need someone to lean on. When things aren't going your way, you definitely desire to have someone who will listen to your whims and rants in life. As you are hurting, you need someone who will assure you that everything's going to be okay.
When there are struggles, difficulties, challenges, trials, problems and hardships, the more you realize that you can never do it alone and you always need someone to back you up and root for you. It's important to for you to know and to realize that you can't always do everything on your own. You can't always feel fine and be the string person that you are. You will definitely reach a point in life when you will feel tired and the only thing that will keep you standing are the people around you.
My whole family is coping with all the pain, stress and confusion that my papa's passing had brought us. I'm just glad that I came from a huge family and I'm not the oldest child who needs to act tougher than anyone else in the family. Even though all of us are still hurt. We are all doing our best to live each day with joy and gladness as we all know that papa is now fully rested in the arms of the Almighty God.
I can still feel the presence of my father and I even dreamt about him. There is also a butterfly that comes to my oldest brother's house everyday. It's as if papa I'd reminding him to be there for mama and the whole family. T
BEST THINGS ABOUT HAVING A FAMILY WHEN GRIEVING
You are never alone.
We experienced, felt and cried about the same thing. We still cry and think about papa. We share the pain together as a family and we also heal as a family.
You are loved.
Papa is no longer around physically but he is still with us as he will forever be alive in our memories. Our heart will continuously beat to love him. He is indeed a man to look upto for taking care of me and my siblings from our childhood until now.
You are seen.
Right now, me and my siblings see each other more often. We video call and chat each other just simply checking how each of us is doing. We never let each of us to be left alone. We also make sure to talk each other more often.
We're still grieving bit were slowly getting to the point of healing each day. Knowing that I have a family who loves me and takes care of me is more than enough reason to continue living. Besides, I don't want my papa to feel sad in heaven when he sees us unable to stand up after losing him.
I love you pa 😘
Be the good guardian angel that you are.
