Description

I haven't been able to post the last two days... My Grandpa has died on Friday late at night and I've been so busy with the funeral and the people paying their respects. Today is the last day in the 3 mourning days, and the weather is horrible. I am (surprisingly) not very upset he died, because he was eager to join my late grandma ever since she died 4 years ago. I think he is happier now.. with her. It all happened so quickly... so he didn't suffer. I'm going to miss him, I loved him and I was one of his favourite grand children... but now that he's gone to somewhere better, I think I should be happy for him. I don't cry at funerals because I don't like to be pitied... so I was the one holding my mum's and my auts' hands and hushing them. I was brave and I'm glad I was. I don't really understand death... and I don't even try to... all I know that the people who die stop being there... so I prefer to think they went on a journey or something and that while they're away, I can still talk to them through prayer. Pretty childish but it makes me comfortable.

Very beautiful shot and the landscape is extremely interesting to me. I am sorry about your grampa's death as it leaves so many behind to mourn for him. Yes, he is ok now and you seem to have what I feel is a good way to compartmentalize it and deal with it. And, yes, I'm proud of you also for being brave and strong at such a weak time.

You have captured a lovely image, Nahla. Rest assured, your Granpa is dead, but his life is changed, not ended. Your own faith community have their rituals to deal with the passing of a loved one. I deal with a few funerals each month, and am often amazed at the instinctive faith that ordinary people have in an afterlife. The idea of death being a full stop, a complete end, was foreign even to our stone age ancestors, who respected their dead. All the major world faiths believe in a life after death, and a just judgement. Respecting our dead relatives and friends is only natural. Painful perhaps, but natural. I pray that your sadness and emptiness may be change into joy and peace. May you and your family and community remember him. Be not afraid. He has only been called home by God. We all will be. Warm regards and prayers, John.

I lost my father in 2001, and still miss him. It seems I thought the same as you do, that he is in a better place. My father was very ill when he passed away, and so it was a relief that he was not suffering anymore. This is a beautiful dedication to your grandpa. Best wishes for you and your family in this time of grief.
