The Death Of A Loved One. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Death is so deeply personal
and stunningly final,
nothing can emotionally
prepare us for its arrival.

Nothing in life can prepare us
for the death of a loved one.

Whether death results from
a sudden accident or a
sustained illness,
it always catches us off-guard.

With every death,
there is a loss.

With every loss,
there will be grief.

(Consoling wisdom from Psalm: 34: 18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Holy Bible) .
