Recently there was a death in the family and it came all of a sudden. Her kidneys had failed over the time and even repeated dialysis was of no use. She passed away peacefully leaving behind her family in grief yet relief as they had seen her suffering so much all these years.
I have often seen and felt too, there is always a relief many a time in times of grief. It can’t be said, but felt a lot. When God is pulling away your dear one from you, it’s time to say goodbye not just from us but from pain too.
I personally feel many terminally ill patients about to breathe their last must be given a choice to have their say, to live or to opt for death (euthanasia) at times I feel when I pass through the corridors of hospitals where I see misery in abundance.
In death we often grieve but we must also thank God at times for having saved our dear one from living a dying life which gives so much pain and nothing else. For those who have been suffering from a serious disease or survived a serious accident with grievous injuries, no doubt need to be alive, but till when.
Someone who has been left crippled by an accident or someone who has lost his health to a killing disease is better relieved of the pain than living with it. It’s hard to accept when I say there’s relief in grief, but that’s what life is at times – accepting the unexpected!
So, if you lose your dear one who had been suffering from pain when alive, thank God for having spared him or her from suffering more. Feel the relief in grief…though easy to say but hard to accept, but when accepted it will ease your pain and give you strength in accepting reality with courage.
