Today I am grateful for the fact that I have come to
accept and embrace the reality that there is life and then there is death.
I was once very terrified of death. When I heard about
a death and worst if it was someone I knew, I would go into full mode
panic attack, to the point where I felt as if I was dying as well.
Recently I have been hearing a lot of news about
persons who have died. For some, it is expected because these individuals are
up in age and have been ailing for a while. Then there are others, young
people, my age group, who have died suddenly, giving us no notice. You are then
forced to wonder what is really causing people your age to be dropping like
flies - just like that. Of course you are forced to think about your own
mortality. What if you are not as well as you think you are, what if you should
go now, what about your spouse, what about your young children, is there adequate
savings and life insurance to make a difference to their lives.
Honestly, I do think about these things, but I am finding
that I am not as terrified of death as before, because one thing I have come to
totally accept, is the fact that there are just some things you have no control
over. Life usually goes on after people die and you would be surprised to see
how God causes things to fall in place and work themselves out.
I am grateful therefore that I have come to a place
where death no longer scares me and as a result of this I am able to try to live
each day as if it is my last, ensuring as much as possible, that I am being my
best self.
