It Is Better To Be In The House Of Mourning

by Cecile Cinco

Life is fleeting. Like the grass that withers, it’s not yet neverending. Time will come when life is eternal, but at the moment, everything is temporal.

Tonight we’re going to a house of mourning. A friend’s father had his life back to the Giver. Why it ended is not ours to question, otherwise we will be questioning His judgment.

Going to a house of mourning, though, is something that is beneficial to both the consoling family and the friends who visit. Though life cannot come back unless a miracle happens, the event, the situation, makes one think of his or her own life.

Friends need consoling. The mere fact that you came gives the bereaved family some moral support which they need at the moment. Not much the words that you may speak but merely being there. It’s not the money that give especially if you have none; it’s the time you give off to them.

For many, it’s a wake-up call. We may not be in control of our lives but what are we doing with what we have now? If you are sick and need special care but don’t want to be in the hospital, considering a home health care agency might work better.
