Ways to remember your loved ones

It can happen to anyone. Destiny can strike suddenly changing our life forever. God has plans for everyone. The kindness and love of God is beyond our mind's reach. We can only try to understand it only if we surrender totally to God and have deep faith. The way to deal with problems and life threatning situations is to just do our best and let God do the rest. When there is birth there is death too. It is the universal truth yet the human mind does not want to accept this truth. When the loved one dies our mind become numb, we refuse to let go....because of our attachment and relationships. Isnt  it? I remember somewhere in Gita Bhagwan Krishna says -"For the soul there is neither birth nor death."Inspite of reading, its difficult to accept! It is said crying a human enters this world - and on leaving, leaves behind so many in tears. But the way to remember our loved ones who have quit the race of life is to make their loss our strength so that it transforms into the power that makes us strive.

Death is the unwelcome visitor, and often comes unannounced. For some it is painful, for others too sudden. There are souls waiting for death and there are souls escaping from death. Life reveals its moments of truth, destiny unveils scene from scene .God has plans for everyone. Blessed are those who listen to their hearts and have the passion to follow their dreams. The death of a loved one can throw you into deep depressions and can wreck you emotionally, physically, mentally but remember there is not a single person out there who has not suffered this pain. Remember death is universal, dealing with the loss of loved one is not easy, we have to however face it. It is said for yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery ,today is the most important of all.

Live every moment to full...who knows when God might call? When my friend died I was devastated. I was tempted to give in to emotions of resentment but could this turmoil in me bring my friend back alive? NO . It was difficult but remembering her words "Love is life, love all but with no expectations." I chose to follow love and kindness. I thought why let the loss of my loved one go in vain? It is better to illumine the heart and soul with memories of my shining star and than I realised she is not really that far.

This way comes the turning point in everybody's life. My friends demise has made me treat her painfal loss as a stepping stone towards my new life.I prefer to think of her as the shining star who has come to bless and touch my life forever. In honour of her memory - I shall enrich my life and that of others with love, faith and prayers.
