Dealing with loss..

I don't know why, suddenly I have this urge to write about dealing with pain, loss of a loved one, and some things... if for any reason you find this too sad to read, move on... I'm serious...

I used to hear this song when I was younger, but I never knew what it meant... It's a very personal and emotional song by Sting about his father's death, and even listening to it, I could feel the sorrow and I cried... it's that moving... I mean, who wouldn't be sad if their parents passed away? (touchwood) I'm actually scared of when the day comes when I'm gonna be alone and independent, hope it'll be a long time away when I have more experience and more mature... anyway, here goes the song...

Under the dog star sail
Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall
North, north west, the stones of Faroe

Under the Arctic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?

All colors bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean's bed
Drifting in empty seas
For all my days remaining

But would north be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Dark angels follow me
Over a godless sea
Mountains of endless falling,
For all my days remaining,

What would be true?

Sometimes I see your face,
The stars seem to lose their place
Why must I think of you?
Why must I?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Why would you want me to?
And what would it mean to say,
That, "I loved you in my fashion"?

What would be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?


So yeah... sometimes in certain societies, it's very hard to effectively communicate love between parents and children, and what he's saying in this is that, sometimes the father would say "I loved you in my fashion" as if to say I loved you this way, and it's very touching...

So tell your mum n dad you love them, and treasure your loved ones, family, and never let go of them... I know I haven't been the perfect son, the perfect person, I make mistakes as well, and I know how hard it is to live this life...

How do you deal with the loss of a loved one? Do you weep and moan everyday, or move on and live your life the best way possible and make them proud? I'm sure you know the answer... Of course, human nature can sometimes dictate otherwise and have the tendency to still grief, and I think I myself don't know in the future...

I guess there's a reason why I wrote this, and pray to God that everything will be alright...
