Letter to a sister's heavy heart

Dearest Onome,

"How are you" would be a cruel question to ask; no one can fathom the gravity of grief and hurt that fills your heart right now. We wish above all things that we could change the situation. We wish we could take all the hurt away or soothe it somehow. More than anything else, we wish death didn't take just anyone away and that it had to hurt this much. But the reality teaches us otherwise. In all, it is to make us stronger. That death has chosen to visit your family is something the reason for which only God our Father knows. We all just want to urge you to be strong. As time makes the reality of this incident fully set in, keep on being strong. Ogaga lives on in our hearts dear, in your heart!

Whenever the grief seems to overwhelm you, seek the strength of prayers. Do what you do- Draw! Paint! Write songs. Go into the studio. Pour your heart out in Art, Music and in teaching little children how to be amazing like she was and you are! Tell yourself, "I will be fine". So also will your family. We haven't stopped praying that she is resting in peace now. Let the belief that she is, help you keep her alive in your heart.
Know also today, Onome that she has earned her rightful place in His presence.

Embrace hope! It will help you gain strength in understanding that God alone knows best. The devastation of your parents will not linger on for very long dear. We will be here to ensure that. The light may seem far away right now but don't begin to believe your grief. Hang on to the Hope of better days ahead and God will walk you and your family out of this wilderness.

We love and support you,
Deeyssert Flower.
