Bringing Sense to Grief
I often think that you cannot bring any sense to the feeling of grief. After all I have found myself saying things like “why does it happen to all the good people?” But the more I do think about it there is sense,
unfortunately it is the sense that we cannot come to terms with, it is the reality that we struggle with…
S = So we love and part - at some stage. We do know that it is not forever, maybe we would all be better thinking about how to make the most of our time together rather than worrying about the inevitable outcome.
E = Everyone will die at some point. The timing may be not what we wanted but without death the world would not be able to cope.
N = No one can explain the timing. If no one can explain it then we should stop worrying about something that we cannot control.
S = Sense of grief should make us better human beings. The sense should be around changing ourselves to be better human beings who value life across the world.
E = Education. If we - as people who understand the effect of loss - educate and help others to understand the emotional effect on the world, maybe just maybe we can change the world who has learned that needless deaths are almost “expected”
I suppose I am saying there is a logical side to death, humans cannot live forever. The timing is out of our hands but we should do everything in our power to prevent early needless death - health, politics, friendship.
What do you think we could do with our feelings of grief to change the world for the better?
