What do we do when a loved one dies.

When a loved one dies, it signals the end of a life you once loved and cherished. A part of you dies too, the part of your life that you shared with that person ends abruptly and it is almost too devastating to bear especially if that person was a parent or a sibling. That is because with friends you can always meet and make more but with a family member----. I chose to speak on this because in the last six months I have had a more than healthty dose of deaths. First, I was involved in a near fatal accident where my mentor, the man I loved and respected the most Mr. Olufemi Adelana died in my arms, Literally. To this day I still haven't cried for him. Then a month later, my grandmother whom I hadn't spoken too in the last twelve to thirteen years died. I was kind of relieved that she would finally be at peace with herself but I was kind of sad that we didn't get a chance to sort out our differences. then a week ago, my friend at our church branch in Lagos met with tragedy. His Dad, Mr. Emele Kalu had been recovering from a stroke and all of a sudden his condition deteriorated and he died suddenly.
So, I've come to realise that many young people are unprepared for the possibility of their parents and loved ones dying so I've decided to give three small suggestions to help if one's loved ones kick the bucket.

1) Get a good gaggle of trustworthy and loyal friends. True friends will stick with you through anything and you won't have problems judging their trustworthiness.

2) Get reading. Reading wide and extensively on a whole lot of subjects most especially the bible will prepare you mentally for a whole lot of situations who knows what will pop up in your head, I remember when I had my accident, all I could think about was John 16:33.

3) Get a hobby. When tragedy strikes, Having something that will keep you from thinking too much won't be a bad thing. It could save you from some stupid decisions later on.

Life is short, Use it wisely!
