Greetings my dear friends of read.cash. Today I am not going to tell you an inspiring story, I just want to write the trivia that is in my head.

I think I've been struggling a lot in all these years I've been writing. I'm writing different pages at the same time, one side and the other, and I think many here do too, but there comes a time when like today I'm feeling tired.

My mind, my body, is asking me to take more time for me. To take my days a little slower, because the effort is disturbing my peace of mind.

I am also in a time of mourning, seeing how some of my friends and colleagues die gives me a feeling of emptiness in my heart.

Grief is something normal to live because it is a feeling of loss, of detachment, of seeing how people who mean something in our lives are leaving this plane.

From unsplash.

I am a person of faith and I am grateful. I pray to God for my deceased, for my losses. I thank God for the time He allowed me to be with them in this earthly life. I thank Him for having known them.

Paul the apostle of the Most High says in one of his letters that death is gain. Why? Because it is when we will go to meet the Lord and 'stand before his face' which is what we all want. The thought of God's promise being fulfilled as everything he says in his word is fulfilled comforts us.

But knowing that only fills a space in our hearts and it’s what makes us gradually fill ourselves with strength to endure the losses.

It’s hard to see and feel that this person who was with us for a while is no longer with us and prayer calms our pain and absence.

My dear friends as you can read I am not feeling well at all, because my heart is full of pain. When my friend died I was convalescing with disorder for having eaten a bad dinner, so I had no strength for both of us.

My grief is repressed in my heart. I feel it tight with so much desire to go out and cannot. She died in another country, she offered her life for others and those others gave her this terrible disease. She has already died, there is no presence of the body, no last farewell, no meeting with her relatives to express our feeling of union to the mourning, there is only a repressed pain in my heart.

That's why I didn't want to make an inspirational post, because today I am in mourning and like everything else I know this too shall pass. As it passes I live it and suffer it. Now I share it with you.

Those who are living this feeling of mine will understand. You know that this too will pass, because everything passes, but while it passes it hurts, it squeezes and squeezes the soul and leaves an empty space.

Because when someone leaves who has been an important part of our life, they don't leave alone. He or she takes a part of us with him or her, they take with them the memories and experiences that brought us together, the graces, the disappointments, the moments of pleasure.

Because when someone leaves, he or she also takes with him or her a part of us, that part of our love and that part of our heart where the memory of what we have lived is kept. That is why the heart is torn, why it has been broken, why it has been taken away.

And while that wound heals in our heart due to the detachment, we mourn the wound, the separation of that piece of our fiber and we hope for a very quick repair.

My dear readers, I am grieving, but I am also confident in the promise of our Lord that we will see each other again, today it is her, tomorrow it is me, then the others and we will see each other again.

I hope I have not disturbed you with my litanies, perhaps tomorrow I will be better, today I only wanted to write my pain. Tomorrow I will write again my joys.

Thanks to all the sponsor renewers like my friend @Pantera and to all those who still support me.

Take time to grieve, to mourn. We have to acknowledge our losses but at the same time celebrate the life of our loved ones and dearly departed. The Lord's promise is the best comfort we can cling on to.

Each of us have the right to grieve. We grieve because we loved. It is not permanent. But like you said it can squeeze the heart with sometimes unbearable pain. I pray you transcend that pain. And your grieving inspires you to do little things offered to your friend to free you from the pain and bloom into hope.

Dear Gertu, I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. I understand perfectly your feeling, there are moments that no matter how positive we want to be, it is very difficult. I hope you find the strength to overcome the grief and take the time you need for you friend. Sometimes our body gives us little warnings when we are exhausted and it is better to listen to them. Te mando un gran abrazo

Life is a gift so is death itself, we should treasure the moment we share with our loved ones and we should learn to be good and shouldn't keep malice of any sort with anybody because we'll never who is next. I feel your pain as mine dear friend and I pray you heal and I too. Please stay safe and be blessed.

I understand perfectly and I send you my blessings and if possible a way to be close to you. I know that you are living with loss and I remind you that we are not taught a culture towards the departure of our loved ones that is optimistic, at least in knowing that it is just another phase that we are all going to live through. And that we are going to meet again for sure, that is why we always think that it is a definitive farewell, as if it were forever. But it is not, and I am very sure that your friend is in an excellent place preparing herself in a wonderful and great way on a spiritual level. That she will welcome you when it is your turn and you will meet again with the same love as always. We cannot stop trusting in what our Lord told us because it is true, so we must begin to see life as a short stage that we passed. Why reencounter us there in the true place which is eternal life. May Our Father allow you to have much acceptance, strength, commitment and passion, which I see you have because you are already writing here with us. And may you be able to understand that we all go towards the same reunion of love once we pass this. Many blessings and we are reading each other here.
