"Death is a part of life. Just as birth opens the door to our existence, at some point, dying will force us through an exit. After the passing of a loved one, those left behind can feel utterly alone and abandoned, trying to figure out how to continue on in a world that now feels wrong to them. Nothing is easy about that. Grief can take a strong hold. It is a force to be reckoned with, having the power to knock us completely off our feet. In one single moment of time everything can change. Those who have lost someone close to them may also lose other relationships because of things that are said or done at a very critical time. When that occurs, repairing the damage can be difficult, if not impossible. There are many variables in living on this planet. Not all things happen to everyone. However, there is one thing that will occur in each of our lives. At some point, you and I will both experience the death of someone close. There is no getting around it. The human body does not live forever."
