A couple had three children and one boy died in an accident. The lady slipped into depression and stopped doing anything else. The husband had work and then wife’s care. Rest of the two children got ignored. They stopped eating proper food, studying etc. After few years, their son who was 12 years old now told them that they are not his parents. They only care about the one who died but don’t care about what’s left. The child was about to walk out of the house and something jolted his father. He ran after him and started crying. He asked to forgive and said that he will correct his behavior. He would be a father to them rather than the one who had died.
Often we are so focused on what’s gone that we forget to look at what’s left and what more we can have. When his son was leaving he realized that he was losing next one and all his future.
One lady had a miscarriage. She could not deal with the loss and all the time she started fighting with her husband. They were on the verge of separation. They contacted a lawyer and he directed them to a marriage counselor. The counselor helped them in understanding that miscarriage happens and they should not blame each other for that. Rather than that they should support each other and prepare for next one. It helped them and within one year the lady conceived again and next year she delivered. Their relationship blossomed again.
So what shall be done:
Let go!
Stop blaming life, people, circumstances, God for the loss.
Look at good in that
Look at what’s left
Look at what more you can have
Look at the brighter side of life.
Life is about losing some, gaining some. However, if we keep crying over what’s lost, we would never be able to see what’s coming and what left. Be grateful for what’s left! Be happy about what’s coming. Life has a lot more!
