Last week my uncle, who was also my godfather, passed away.
It was a devastating loss, I loved him very much.
Here's five points on how I look at the feelings that come up in response to this and how I process them. My hope is that this will help anyone else out there who has lost someone.

1.) First, I refuse to make an enemy out of death.
It's coming for us all.
Keeping death in mind is the key to making sure you live your life well.
So I try to see the passing of the loved one as their final "great reminder" to me about what is most important.

2.) I try to see all the sadness that comes up in response to someone's passing as a representation of how much you love that person.
This is a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to feel the full depths of their impact on your life and it should be met with gratitude.
Typically these feelings are inaccessible consciously while the person is still alive, the grieving process is a way that

3.) When met with love, death of those you love can affirm life.
Honor their memory by living on with in a way that THEY would be proud of.
Care for those who you still have even better.

4.) This one might be controversial, but I refuse to call someone's death a tragedy, as I feel like it devalues the end of that person's earthly story.
Just because you don't understand a movie, doesn't mean it's not a an artistic triumph. I see people's lives the same way.

5.) Plus... I don't believe death is the end. They've just moved to the next chapter and you'll see them again.
Atheists would call this a cope.
I call it hope.

UYAP,

P.S. No plug today - instead call someone you care about and tell them you love them.
