The pain of losing a loved one is the most painful experience one gets in life.
Although some grief for a short period of time, other people find the pain too much to bear and this can lead to mental illness, depression and also broken heart syndrome.
Although no one is always ready for this, there are lessons you get from this situation.
1. Life is too short and that tomorrow is not guaranteed
This means you should never waste your time in meaningless things rather by spending each day you are blessed with to make life more productive.
Do not be stuck in jobs that are not bringing out the best in your or relationships that are taking away your happiness. If you keep doing things that you don't care about, you are wasting your life.
2. Life must go on
The pain associated with losing a loved one seems not to end and you might wish that never happened.
However, you will realize that the days are going by and you must live. Do not worry because you will slowly adjust back to your routine.
3. The present moment is the most important
You will realize that the best time to enjoy what you have is now. You can't undo the past or bring back to life your loved one.
You will also not be able to appreciate the future if you are enjoying the present. Take heart and soldier making the best from the present moment.
4. The power of memories
Memories are the only way to remember and bring back the love done back. Make sure you create great memories and not sad ones with the people who mean the world to you.
