Yep, death. Morbid, don't you think?

Whenever we live, someone has to go. Sad, don't you think?

By the time you all read this, most of you should've known that an RGS girl, Weiqi died of brain tumour a few days ago. No, i didn't know her at all.

But don't you think that's at least a little sad, a 14 year old person, with a bright future, just taken away by the grasp of death. Like, any person that you know could die any moment. And it really wasn't a traffic accident, and no precautionary measures could have been taken. Brain Tumour.

I saw this very, very interesting essay on Death at a Bus Stop. It goes a bit like this. What struck me the most about it was the ending, which was no doubt heart-warming. It goes a bit like this.

Don't see death as an ending. See death as a new beginning, with Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

Another Quote from the bible.

1 thessalonians 4:13-1813 Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. 14 We believe that Jesus died &rose again &so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel &with the trumpet call of God, &the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive &are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. &so we will be with the lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage each other with these words.

Absolutely amazing. With this encouraging verse, let's take death not as the ending, as that it will be a new journey for the dead person [that sounds crude] and that we will meet him/her again in heaven. Those that have fallen asleep with Jesus will come alive again when the Time comes. Those that are alive will also be caught up with them in heaven where we will be reunited.

I hope Weiqi is now resting with God, and that she is safe. I also hope that the parents will not be too grievous over her death, and that they will accept her death and move along.

I, personally have not experienced any death in our family [not that i want to], so I think that i do not have that experience to talk much about it. The pain, the suffering, the angst, the confusion, the hurt. It all sorta adds up, don't you think?

This post is all about death, and how to accept it. Although we may find it hard to move along with life, i hope that my post has helped you.

I also hope that from now on, people should cherish their friends and family, and everything precious to them more. As usual, we should not take our things from granted, and treasure every beautiful moment of life that God has Created. Let's live like we were dying.

So, take death as a minor detour to the final destination that we are all heading at: Heaven.

Where home, truly is. See you there :)
