This week I’ve said goodbye to my lovely Aunty who died after the devastating disease dementia got a grip. She went exactly 4 months after my baby brother died and last week I attended the funeral of another friend.
Events like these can be too much to bear. As humans we’re empathetic and socially gregarious. We mourn – like elephants, dolphins, apes and other mammals do when their close ones leave. But the words of my friend last week at his funeral – written just before his death – hold great hope. He said: ‘Grieve not that I have died, but rejoice that I have lived’.
With words like that, let us rejoice that we are still alive, that we can still make a difference on this stunning planet and that those who have left us will one day be reunited with us to continue our eternal adventures.
