Is it so?

Several friends. Have been devastated. Over the years. By the loss of loved ones. And they've had trouble getting over it. Almost as if they are in a perpetual state of grief. I'm tempted to pose a question. Do they still  revere and love the sanctity of life? To the point of getting on with life. Joyfully.  Seems to me that life is the ultimate blessing. To be alive and conscious. And able to pursue happiness. Despite the setbacks/losses. Occasional or otherwise.  Makes me wonder. If there's so much to life -- that even when a dearly loved one dies, there's still something sacred to savor.  Perhaps a spiritual connection. That makes life wonderful and fulfilling. Tell me, dear grieving friends, is it so? --Jim Broede
