Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

How do we overcome the pain that we feel inside when we are missing someone terribly? We find ourselves at times sobbing due to our loss that had resulted in a huge void in our lives. Oftentimes, after we cry we try to go about our daily chores, trying to keep ourselves busy to make the hands of time move faster. It is amazing how time flies when we are busy toiling each day. There are different ways people deal with sadness; it is during these tough times that we end up in search of ourselves...of our existence!

For so long as human beings depend on each other for material needs and companionship, we will always feel some void when we lose those we depend upon. Whether this loss was due to a passing of a loved one, breaking up, or the unavoidable separation due to job relocation or residential moves. There could be a hundred reasons why we are separated from people we care about...people we hold dearly in our hearts. There may also be a hundred ways to deal with these situations and each time we try to cope.

So, how do we cope? Aside from crying or keeping ourselves busy all day? The answer is to kneel down in prayer. Oftentimes, we hear people who pray that it can help heal your wounded soul and it can give you strength to face another day. Trusting in what our Almighty God can do to help us ease the sorrows and pain of missing our beloved. There is also a saying that time can heal all wounds. So, the pain and aching feeling you feel inside your heart will go away, with God's help and guidance, in a matter of time.

With every pain, suffering, trial, and separation that you endure...you will become resilient--- a better and stronger person!
