What is ‘closure’.?
Webster says:
closure
noun
The act of closing or the state of being closed.
Something that closes or shuts.
A bringing to an end; a conclusion.
So explain to me how this relates to the loss of a loved one. People everywhere talk about closure when you are grieving. So you are supposed to close, bring to an end? It makes zero sense to me.
Just pretend your parents never existed? They created me!
Close the door on cancer taking the love you found finally in your 60s? My happiness was snatched away!
How do you accept the ‘conclusion’ of a life you created, your child? Taken at age 36 leaving 3 young girls behind?
How do young children COMPREHEND the loss of their Mom? They have no understanding of death.
I cannot even begin to understand the emotions of those who lose loved ones to violence. Unexpected. Instant implosion of their life! Ever notice the reality tv shows of murder? When law enforcement arrest the perpetrator they say so glad to give the family closure. Not closing that door.
People please understand loosing loved one to whatever tragedy has NO closure.
You may eventually learn to live again. You may eventually give yourself permission to be happy again.
You may eventually begin to pray again and beg Jesus for help carrying your burden.
Your family members may eventually learn how to comfort you by just listening. Don’t tell us what we need to do or tell us your story. Our grief is our own.
Your friends may eventually learn to just do things for you and not ask you to let them know what you need. I can’t put together a grocery order or notice my lawn needs cutting.
Please pray for us, without ceasing.
We who have lost so much will never close that door. We will remember and carry our love with us until it’s our time for eternal peace.

“I'm falling, watching as your hurting I'm down here I'm on my knees How can I survive And you turn to me and promise me you're ready And tell me you'll be waiting on the other side And I still believe in the good And I still believe in the light And I wanna feel the sun I wanna free you tonight And you showed me all the good And you lead me through the light And you gave me the sun It's time to free you tonight” - lyrics from “Into the Light” by In This Moment It’s been 67 days since you left this earth Papa and I’m still not ok with it. One week ago would have been your 79th birthday. I feel like I didn’t give you permission to leave me. You were my rock in the worst of my childhood, the glue that held my broken pieces together. You were still always there for me no matter what as someone who loved me no matter what and would protect me from whatever demons haunted me. The world isn’t right without you and all of us that loved you are equally lost on how we’re supposed to live lives that don’t include you. You were too great of a man to not leave a mark on everyone that knew you. I know you were at peace with leaving this world but none of us are. I’m not. My grief is too great Papa. I love you so much. I will see you on the other side, yes, but I didn’t want to give you up. COVID is this evil monster that stole you away from me before I was ready, but I know I never would have been ready. I feel like I’m drowning in this grief sometimes because you’re one of those people I knew I would never be ok with losing. It’s so hard to talk about. I had my first pieces of popcorn yesterday since losing you. I love you so much, Papa, and I will always be your Doodle. #griefjourney #grief #griefandloss #imissyou #covid #covidloss #grandparentlove #grandparentloss #grandfather #grandfatherlove #grandfatherloss #griefsucks #grieving #grievingsucks #grievingprocess #grievingfamily #grievinggrandpa #songlyrics #griefquotes #writerslife https://www.instagram.com/p/CODMJPuLtJI/?igshid=1r4145az2oj81

Mixed feelings as Reverend leads grieving family to location where their kidnapped son was abandoned in a bush in Anambra
Mixed feelings as Reverend leads grieving family to location where their kidnapped son was abandoned in a bush in Anambra
There was an uproar in Awka, Anambra state after a Reverend led a grieving family to the location where their kidnapped son was abandoned.
The pastor, while reportedly under God's direction, was given the location of a kidnapped boy and this led to him being rescued.
The boy was abducted, tied in a bag and dumped in a bush in Awka. The boy's father, desperate to find his child, met the Reverend who then prayed and received a revelation of the missing boy's location, according to members of the community where the incident took place. The pastor led the boy's family to the location and, to their shock, the child was found there alive.
Residents of the community jubilated after the child was found as can be seen in a video going viral online. But web users weren't so impressed and some suggested the pastor might have had a hand in the child's disappearance, just so he can stage a miracle.
Below is a video.

Words can't express how much love and respect I have for every grieving Mother.

I think she's blinking snowflakes off her eyelashes. ❄ Not the best picture of Caety but I love that she's out in the snow and wearing a Harry Potter hat. ⚡ This was from January 2005.
