Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

The Agony Coming From A Broken Heart

By Terry Haynes

If you've had your heart removed by the person you thought you loved, now's the time to break out the time stoppers and let the sadness go.

You and me and everybody we know has gone through something a lot like this pain and anguish. You are going to miss your life with that other person and have to face each day on your own. We can still feel angry, guilty and insecure. But you don't have to choose to live with that every day. The real choice is yours to make.

Believe it or not, writing it all out may be one of the best ways to get these emotions out of you. Writing is a very therapeutic activity that can get you in touch with your feelings. You do not have to be a poet. Remember, nobody else has to read what you write.

Recording these words helps you to understand them. Working through the pain can help prepare you for saving the relationship or going into a new relationship without emotional baggage.

After a breakup, life tends to take the backseat and your broken heart becomes the center of your attention. Unfortunately, the fastest way to get over heartache is to put your focus back on your life.

Something called controlled grieving can be a real lifesaver. The goal of the grieving process is learning to live with loss, which is a part of life. Take some minutes out in a day and use them in this way.

That is one way to get out of the sorry business and get back to life. It is important to ask for what you need during a break up period. If you want to spend time with friends, ask them. If you need time alone, ask for it.

Remember that we all tend to romanticize the thing that has gone to the wayside. Reminiscing about the good old times is normal, but don't dwell on them, because that is obsessive. You don't want to be obsessive.

So, whenever you feel that kind of angst again, you can remind yourself that your ex really is kind of a douche bag who rubbed your face in the pain in the first place.
