Finding Joy in Heart Ache

As of late there seem to be a lot of people struggling with the loss of loved ones. Even as a missionary we still see and recognize the pain and heart ache that comes with the loss of a child, a husband, a brother or sister, even a best friend. They are a part of who you are. They Helped you to laugh and to smile, and to cheer you up when you were sad, and even though at times they seemed so frustrating you loved them, you still love them and you Always will love them.

Everyone is here on this earth for the same purpose to Gain a body and to gain experiences and to learn. That doesn't always make when someone is called home any easier.

The only Consolation is that we will see them again. We may not know when, but we know that our Heavenly Father has created a plan in which we get to be with our Families Eternally, both in this life and in the next. We can be together forever.

Today Hug someone and tell them you love them. Be kind to those around you for everyone is fighting a hard battle, and smile because you know you are loved.

Thank you to everyone who is constantly reaching out to be a support to those who have lost a loved one. The company I know means a lot to them, simply being there makes a difference. We don't need the perfect words, we don't have to say anything, some times it is better if we don't in fact. Just be kind and loving, no more no less.

As members of the Church when we are baptized we promised our Heavenly Father that we would Comfort those who stand in need of comfort. (Mosiah 18:9)  As we do this we can see hearts begin to heal and burdens made lighter.
