Sorrow and Death

How can we use a subject so delicate for a business blog?

Many of us have experienced and all will experience death and sorrow in our lifetime.

Is there a way to harness that emotion and bring something good from the pain?

I believe so.

When you build a site at WA, your new found friends will want to know about you, that you're an emotional being just like eveyone else.

Writing can also be an outlet, a way to release what's bottled up without a formal verbal expression.

Death and Sorrow

There have been many people throughout my life that have been carried off into the spirit realm through death.

Over the years, so many friends and family have passed on, that at times I feel numb to it all.

The sorrow that death brings is heavy and it's burden too much to bare at times, but understanding there might possibly be another realm is one of the comforts I have that makes the sorrow a little lighter and also gives me hope.

The thought of possibly seeing that loved one again in a different life lifts the pain from being too much and drowning me in the sorrow.

For those who lose someone they love, the death, sorrow and love they feel for that person is

incredibly deep.

Shock, sorrow, anger, more sorrow, repeat.

There are no words to describe the pain.

There is no comfort.

For the PTSD, Anxiety and other similar thoughts, there really is hope and that's one reason WA is one of the number one training sites.

Me:

I lost my father on June 16, 2017, one of the kids birthday, and I still haven't quite come to terms with that.

Moving on has been far from my mind.

Missing my dad seems to be the only thing that I feel or think about. Being aware that others have also felt the

To be honest, writing about it has helped take some of the weight and burden from my shoulders.

Personally it's not a bad idea for anyone going through a hard time to write and express themselves in a healthy environment. WA one was of those healthy outlets for me.

Somehow writing about what I'm thinking is freeing to my soul.

It might actually be a great idea for anyone needing an outlet; even if you're not any good at all at writing, it shouldn't stop you.

Death Comes Knocking Again

Then the news came of the death of someone else in my life that will forever be a treasure to me and a beautiful friend.

Not only was this young man like a son, but he was a friend that I will always miss. This is such a great loss, not only to myself, but to his friends and family, as well as the community he lived in.

We go through our days, never thinking that the person we love might be snatched away from us in any given moment, and there's nothing at all we can do about it.

Absolutely nothing.

This amazing young man was stolen from us on January 25, 2019; my little brothers birthday.

My thoughts are scattered at times.

My prayers aren't what they should be.

I've recently been able to 'think' again.

At least that's how it feels.

Here it is the end of the year and it's been difficult for me to be able to actually comprehend that another precious soul in my life has passed away.

I'm numb.

He was shot and found dead in his vehicle.

The robbery and death took place on January 25, 2019.

Questions go through my mind.

How long did he suffer? Was he cold? Was he afraid? What went through his mind during this time? What did the person who killed him say to him?

Those who loved him have questions.

The story of each child in my life is different.

Each childs story has it's own tragedy and successes.

In this case, his life was becoming a success.

Tradegy took him.

Two types of people

There are two types of people in the world;

1) Those who give.

2) Those who take.

This is one of the precious baby's that came into my life. His name was Delvin, and he was a giver.

A Good young man

He was taken way too early by a mindless drug addict who needed a quick fix. Someone who was so deranged and screwed up, that he was willing to kill someone to get a high fix that would only last a short time and leave those in the wake of this tradegy forever with loss.

To kill someone because of lack of self discipline and greed seems so unfair.

Then he ran away like cowards always do, and was found with his girlfriend in another state a few hours away.

I will say I'm grateful to the police for apprehending and removing this grime from the streets.

A bad guy. A good guy.

One always takes.

The other always gives.

That is the case here.

This is a pic of myself and one of the precious souls that came into my life. He was almost always smiling and happy, and he made it a point to inspire, encourage, and build up others that came across his path.

Delvin was a giver who treated most everyone like they were his friend. He loved to help others and found joy in doing what was good and right. He knew where his strength came from and had no problem sharing a quote from the bible or some other inspirational information. If he thought he could help someone in some small way, he did just that. He was a giver. Delvin gave hope to others with his wisdom and insight.

He didn't have to know you to encourage you or find a way to lift you up. That was just his nature and beautiful spirit, and that's what made him so amazing.

He never met a stranger or an enemy. Those who hated him, didn't know him. He prayed for those who wrongfully used him and stood firm on things that make a better world for all.

If only there were more people like him, his sisters, and brothers, we would have a better world. I love this family and can't even begin to understand why good people have to die while those who hurt, destroy, inflict pain or harm on others, continue to get away with the harm they do.

For three days he said he wanted to come to talk to me about something that was on his mind.

He didn't show.

I worried.

I wondered.

Now I will never know what he wanted to talk about.

Did it have something to do with his death? Did he know his assailant? What did he want to talk about?

I guess I'll never know. I'll always wonder.

Forever gone.

If only there were more good people who showed love and kindness.

If only there were fewer people who take from others.

A RARE JEWEL gone from the world entirely too early.

If you feel writing would help someone you know, invite yourself to get a year of WA for them, an opportunity to get the mind off the pain, and put it towards healing.

My Request

I have a request to pray for this family and our mutual friends of whom I know are dealing with his loss.

He has a twin and other siblings as well as other family members and friends that miss him.

Pray that this loss will turn into a victory, and this hurt we all feel will turn into joy and laughter.

Pray that those who do not know the love of a Saviour would open their heart to accept the same Christ that Delvin accepted in hopes that they too might be more like Delvin and the Creator he served.

Pray that those who senselessly took his life would realize what they've done as well as feel genuine guilt and sorrow for their crime.

Pray that his example of love and kindness be remembered by those who met him and loved him.

Memories in the moments

We may go throught hardships as everyone does at one time or another, but we can take the time to asscess what we've been through and possibly help someone else along the way.

For instance, I've taken a training site, added my personal experience in life, and am able to feel better as I express my feelings this way, help others in some way, and e while doing so.

This training isn't to be taken lightly though, I'm hopefully doing some productive along the way.

The memories I have with this family are precious, and he will always be remembered as one of the really good people in my life. He will always be remembered as a friend that made my day brighter when I had time with him, and I know he did the same for others as well.

Those of us that knew and loved him will continue to carry the mantle of hope, love, inspiration and encouragement that Delvin chose to carry and share with others.

We will remind others of what Delvin stood for, and we will step up to the plate and help others when they need help; as he helped others.

I spoke to a close friend of Delvins', he said that if someone needed food, clothing, or money, Delvin was the type of guy that didn't want anyone to go without, and was always right there helping where there was a need. His friends words were nurishment to my soul and much needed at that time.

The photo below is of myself and the girls and taken when the girls and I spent some time together down at the river here in town. We giggled and laughed so much so that day, that a foreign woman stopped to ask about us being family.

She asked me if these girls were my daughters. She said we looked like we genuinely loved each other and said she found it odd, but that it made her smile and feel "happy"

What an honor.

As our evening went on into the night, we enjoyed the time together just being silly as girls, while the lights and music filled the air.

We danced and acted as if the world were ours and only ours.

I felt like one of the luckiest people on earth at that moment in time and couldn't have been happier myself, which might explain why we made the woman feel "happy."

Their brother loved and wanted to protect his sisters, along with the other siblings, and his worry for them was heavy; though I doubt he ever let them know it.

I couldn't be more proud of him.

I couldn't miss him more than I do now, while I sit writing this.

I was already so proud of who he was becoming before people told me of his goodness. Then, once others began to share what Delvin had done for them, I knew the world was one less amazing person.

I also knew that because there are so few people like him, it would be hard for me to ever find anyone as wonderful a person as he was.

Sharing him with you might not bring him back, but my hope is to remind others to appreciate and seize the time we have with those we love, that when good people are in your life, losing them is a tradegy and terrible loss, and take those moments to let them know we love them.
