How much pain is one person suppose to endure in a lifetime? Don’t you think the loss of one family member is enough? How is a twenty and fourteen year old supposed to cope with the loss of both their mother and sister? It is in these moments where it seems life isn’t fair. It is during the times of tragedy and loss where you will stumble across the question “why?” I am even finding myself asking that question, why this family, why these boys, what could possibly come from this situation. I know and understand that it all comes down to trust, trust in God. In doing this, the situation you are faced with will get easier, and you will be able to see a light through this darkness. I know that it sometimes is easier said than done, especially when you are in those weak moments. It is easier to tell someone they need to trust, that this will all work out, that there is a reason, a purpose for all of this, than it is for you, yourself to do that. If the news of loss was thrown your way, it would maybe be a struggle to give it all up to God, though we know it is what needs to be done, it sometimes doesn’t make sense and in the midst of your darkness there is no light.
I guess all we can do as bystanders is continue to comfort those who mourn, those who hurt. We can continue to pour God’s love onto them, continue to remind them to trust, in the end though it is up to them whether they choose to trust or not to trust. At this point I am trusting, I am trusting that God has some unreal plan for these boys, at this point I also just need to pray, I pray that God would shower these boys with love and just give them a peace and understanding about this whole situation. I just ask God to strengthen them, give them hope for better days to come.
Rest in peace Patricia and Kate Monture, forever loved.
