For the ones you really care about


Imagine loosing someone you love, for life. Not the ones related to you through romantic love, but the ones whom you actually love. Like your Mother, or anyone else in the family you have been the closest to. Isn't only the thought of it enough to send a chill through the spine? Doesn't it feel to take the thought of it straight away from the mind?.



Now imagine the feeling when the one person whom you love unconditionally has lost someone that dear to them! That is even harder. You don't feel what they must be going through. You might not even have the slightest idea how they must be feeling. But, what you feel is totally different. You can't cry over the demise of the one person they have lost. You can't also stay calm watching the one dearest to you in such pain.



Now you don't know what to do. Let them pour their heart out and feel the pain, let them have their alone time to grief or try to help them get through it and overcome the grief? You want to take them out from their miserable condition and throw out condolences upon them. But, don't you think the world has already done that? Mustn't their relatives and friends been throwing the same condolences and asking them to be strong?



How can you ask them not to mourn the ones they loved the most? How can you snatch away their right to grief over their loss? Wouldn't it be a disrespect towards the person they have lost? Wouldn't it show how fragile their bonding has been if they moved on so easily?



Please, do not try to take away this one thing from them. Do not make them suppress their emotions so soon. Instead help them go through it. Stay with them when they really need you, even if they don't say it. Just be with them. They do not need your philosophical advice, all they need to know that you are with them. All they need is the company of someone they could trust. Be their support. Be the shoulder for them to cry upon. Be the one they feel comfortable being with. Be the one who makes them feel that this is not the end of everything. Be the one who makes them feel at home again.
