Happiness in Grief

 

 
Happiness in Grief
 
I share with you below a self comforting tool that I have kept for years. It is like a precious jewel to me when I found it. I knew then that in this life, we have to get something useful that can help us to swaddle the boat with great faith in our hearts in times of sea turmoils and faith tests.
 
Just this month, I lost a sister. Two months ago, a brother. Both were so close to me. I grieved, of course.
 
Well, they were not the first ones I have lost in this life. Life begins and ends. That simple. So,while we have it, we must;
 
and to remember always, 
 
 
What I thank for so much, really so much, I have never asked nor felt the urge to ask God of the "Why?". At least, I don't remember doing so nor feeling so. Maybe I did, but no, I didn't.
 
I believe, I have been fortunate enough to have people around me since childhood that have contributed to whatever strength in spirit that I thank God to be blessed with. 
 
From my parents, to my elder brothers and sister, relatives and special friends from childhood to my unforgettable nanny, Lola Bebang. God bless them all, for they are, were and have been my blessings.
 
The most that hurt me were the lost of my parents. Others just came second, third, etc. Then, years have taught me that there is Sorrow in Happiness, and Happiness in Sorrow.
 
Read below and I hope you'll understand what I mean. Enjoy. 

  


 Just like a book, turn page for a new chapter. Just like this blog, stay tuned for the next book.
