Peace in Death

I wrote this yesterday and never finished it!  I felt like there was more that should be said but I was at a loss of words...well 24 hours later and no more words have come to mind.... so here it is.

Death is an awful thing that unfortunately everyone has to face at some point in their lifetime.  Whether it is your baby, family, friends and even acquaintances facing the death of someone in your life always brings some interesting challenges.  Death and goodbye's are heavy on my mind today after I woke up to the news today that my younger brother's best friend killed himself yesterday.  I never saw him much, and it had been a few years since I saw him at all, but I can only imagine how helpless everyone who loved him is feeling.  Since death is an inevitable part of life the ones who are left behind must learn to find peace within the life lost.   As unfair and unreal as life may seem it plays out exactly according to plan.  Be thankful for the good times, move past any bad.  Remember the reason's you cared so much and your last goodbye.  The most we can hope for is a happy last day, a peaceful goodbye and strength over the upcoming days or weeks as you learn to readjust to life without that person in your life.
