The Love Left Behind Do you ever wonder what the person you loved and lost would wish for you? What it is they left behind? I think they would be moved by your tears, but saddened by your sadness. They would want you to miss them, and, at the same time, they would hope for their memory not just to be a source of pain for you. They would hope for you to remember that behind this pain, there was joy and moments of complete happiness. They would want you to continue to be happy. They would not want you to feel that you couldn’t survive without them, though they would probably be so touched by the fact that you think you can’t. I believe the moment when someone dies is not when their body ceases to exist, but when the last person whose life was touched by them dies. So when you think about it, they have so long still left to live. They continue to survive within you. The conversation with them goes on without end in your own mind. They’ll be with you through many things that have not yet happened, through so many days filled with joys and sorrows. You’ll take them into your confidences. You’ll hear their voice, and they’ll advise and console you. Here’s the thing…I believe death can‘t rob you of this, because they live inside you now. Sometimes your grief turns to fear and makes you think that the one you lost might be feeling abandoned, might be feeling alone and that you’re currently letting them down or failing to look after them. But don’t worry. They‘re not unhappy. They‘re at peace. They’re home. You’ll never forget them. You’ll live, tomorrow and the next day. You can live on and still be faithful to everything they meant for you. They left behind love…and love wants what’s good for the other; love wants there to be more love. They’ll follow you through the rest of your life. No one can separate you from them. You may miss them so much…and yet they’re still here. Anyway…this is what I believe…and the love left behind is what gets me through each day. Gary Sturgis - “Surviving Grief”
