Gratitude Day 103 - Life

Number of times I switched the bracelet yesterday - more than once!

Dear Friends,

For the longest time I didn’t know what to say to grieving people because I didn’t know how they felt. So, I would mumble a soft “my condolences” and walk away fast.

When my father passed away, I took offence to what people said to console me. I was not going to miss him less because he was old and sick!

In the past few days, a dear colleague lost her mother; another dear colleague lost her grandmother. Both Angels, God bless their soul, will be greatly missed by their families, especially at Easter.

I would like to dedicate today’s posting to Life, and to my grieving colleagues.

I pray for them both - to be strong, to be patient. Most of all I pray they recognise that it was a blessing to have had their loved ones in their life for as long as they did. I also pray they are grateful Death observed the right order - these are privileges denied to many. 
Have a reflective day everyone!
