A One-of-a-Kind Love

One of the worst fears (if not the worst) of a parent is to outlive their child. It completely goes against the natural law of man. We (usually) follow the FIFO system. It's just plain wrong to have the child pass away before the parents.

This entry is for parents who have lost their child. I know we will never know how God works. And we will never understand it either. Do not blame yourselves for your shortcomings. Regret will not bring your child back. Instead, grieve and then slowly let go of your pain... but never the love you have for your child. Do not keep death in your heart for it will heavily weigh on your heart and soul. Instead, keep in your heart the memories you shared with your child. Let it bring smiles rather than tears.

Despite the tragedy you went through, do not forget about the people who are always beside you. You are not alone in this challenge God gave you. I know that something like this can shatter your faith...be steadfast. Sometimes, God gives you the worst hardships and pains to make you stronger.
