The Aftermath

Sunday, April 17, 2011

Time flew. It's been a month since Chean's beloved father left this world.

We tried to convince ourselves the silent departure was not real, that we would wake up to find it a dream. It just seemed too sudden and too unexpected to be real; but deep down in our hearts we knew that it was real...

They said life goes on, time will heal and we will get through this for sure... I honestly think so too, maybe we just need more time...

Thank you for all the kind words of condolence and sympathy, they touched us deeply and helped lift our spirits. Chean and I are forever thankful to all our friends and families for being there for us at this difficult time.

Life is so fragile after all, and we are learning to live and love again...



Hugs,
Bev

悲伤够了,就把这份伤感放进瓶子里,把盖关上,好好的收藏起来。偶尔寂寞的时候,不开心的时候,想要诉苦的时候,才把这瓶子打开。哭过了,再把瓶子盖上。

Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.
You & Chean have my deepest sympathies on the death of your father in law.

Dear Bev
I am so sorry for your & Chen lost.
Many people say it is time that heals all wounds. I believe it is how we spend that time that contributes to the healing process.
I guess that’s exactly what it all is: a process. One we cannot escape but we just have to mull right through. However, the person that emerges from that fiery cocoon can be exactly what 'we have decided to become'.
We can become a butterfly trapped in a cocoon that is lost and never emerges. Or with time we can emerge out of our cocoons’ (through the hurt) a stronger, more understanding , kinder and beautiful person. Though the pain of our lost is always a part of us, it’s not all that there is. It will never be what defines us as a person as long as we never allow it to become as such.I hope that brings you some comfort. You didn't have to share this story so thanks. Take care.
