Life requires death as its conclusion. This is part of the human condition. Growth from death is only an option. Growth is a goal that can only be achieved with effort. Many people are “torn down” by grief and it sets them back. I have had family and friends that have never recovered from loss. Growing is a choice. Choose growth or choose life. The decision is only yours. The wise choice is growth.
About Tom Morris:
I was spared any direct experience with funerals until I was twenty-three years old. Yes, there had been deaths in our family. My maternal grandfather and within months my grandmother died when I was eight, but they lived far away. My mother went back for one of the two funerals. I had neighbors and friends who died but attending their funerals never crossed my mind. Looking back, I know my parents were trying to protect me from death. Out of sight, out of mind was the prevailing attitude of the age. Even when my father’s mother died I was unaware of the funeral. Finally, during seminary, while serving as a student assistant pastor, I attended and conducted my first funeral. Since then, I have lost many family members and friends through the years. I have come to understand much better what it means “to be aquainted with grief.” Unexpectedly, I lost a friend in the ministry to AIDS, which was a terrible loss and shock in 1994. I realize that I may have been a “late starter” in dealing with death, but like almost every person, as I have gotten older, my awareness of death has grown. Sooner or later, death gets everyone’s attention.
