Time and time again I realize that “Death” is and losing someone painful, It’s hard for us to imagine losing a person-so real and not just any combination of random atoms,molecules is just gone. Words will definitely fall short.
None can ever comfort a person who just lost a loved one, No words, actions,no amount of riches or anything that you can imagine can fill that gap of the person who just drifted into “another world” - You’ll not see him next to you on that bed anymore which you shared for 30 years and he’s not the one who would open that door for you at 2:00AM when you return from work, You’ll miss him next to you giving you away as you enter into a new era of your life.
“And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone”
- U2 (Sometimes you can’t make it on your own)
Almost everyday we hear “He’s gone, She’s gone”
It amazes me that God made each and only one of “us (as individuals)” so unique and singular that no one can take that “one” person’s place. For some of us memories keep us going and for some of us it hinders - “The Pain is Real, Memories haunting”
Is time the healer?, I guess not “Time does not heal it only makes the reflection deeper.” - Arun Andrews
Who will Answer?
It’s obvious that we ask “WHY?”,
The same question was asked two thousand years ago, “My God My God Why…??”
It’s practical for someone to think that How can you offer healing if you haven’t even gotten close to it?
How can you direct if you haven’t been on that road?
How can you think of Life if you haven’t lived?
At a certain time I’ve realized I can say to Him,
“Was this how you felt when you were beaten?”
“Did it feel the same way when you were disgraced?”
“Did you feel the pain greater than this when you took up that cross?”
A theology after Auschwitz would be impossible, were not the sch’ma Israel and the Lord’s prayer prayed in Auschwitz itself, were not God himself in Auschwitz, suffering with the martyred and the murdered. Every other answer would be blasphemy. An absolute God would make us indifferent. The God of action and success would let us forget the dead, which we still cannot forget. God as Nothingness would make the entire world into a concentration camp.
- Jurgen Moltmann (The Crucified God)
To everyone who’s lost someone….Hope
