“Earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.” – St. Thomas More
The death of a loved one may fill us with a sense of deep loss and grief. It is a time of parting, a time of looking back and a time of sensing a vacuum in the future. Our hearts may be filled with a mixture of emotions – longing, regret, bitterness, pain.
Yet in all these, it is quite possible to also have consolation. It is possible to still have hope.
For though this day be a day of parting on earth, it is also a day of rejoicing and triumph in heaven. Though this day is a day of emptiness here below, this day is also a day of fullness up there where our loved one finally meets Him who alone can give eternal rest and joy.
Let every parting then be not only a day of loss but of consolation. Let every pain be healed with hope. For in God there is life far better than one we could ever imagine to be. In His arms there is bliss and healing and peace.
The righteous perish, and no one lays it to heart. Merciful men are taken away, and no one considers that the righteous is taken away from the evil. He enters into peace. – Isaiah 57, WEB
