User blog:Cheese Lord/A personal loss of mine.

A day and a half ago, my mother's friend, Rodney, passed away. Even though I was not very close to him as much as my mother was, it was a very difficult night for me. I've suffered through death before who were closer to me, and it was always difficult...my dog who I'd lived with for my entire life died in July and my grandpa in 2008.

I'm writing this blog not to get sympathy, even though I do feel terrible - I'm just saying that, if somebody you hold dear in your life dies, then don't give up hope. It took me weeks to get over my grandpa's death. It hurts, but you have to push through it...you always have to remember that there is something that will always keep them alive in your hearts.

Death is not something that you will get over overnight, and nothing to poke fun at...there will always be death in the world, and unfortunately that is to be. But with death, there also comes an acceptance - an acceptance to strive as a human being. What I mean is, without loss in your life, you likely wouldn't know just how cruel the world is. I'm not saying loss is good - it is an absolutely horrible feeling - but with it comes a desire to thrive in your life.

Thank you for reading this blog. It means alot to me, it really does.
