c) Actual Participation
d) Yesterday (March 21, 2021) marks the 40th day since my sister died. Me and my family
organized a simple prayer session as a tribute for her death. She was one of the people who
were around when I was growing as a kid. I was a menopause baby so that means that most of
my siblings are old and has families, so most of my childhood I was alone. However, my sister
was always checking up on me, making sure that I was fine and that I am happy. I was thankful
for her being around during most of my childhood and I am devastated to know that she is not
with us anymore.
Most people understand that loss is an inevitable part of life, but that doesn't make it any
better. The loss of a loved one sometimes puts a strain on those left behind, and it may feel as
though the sorrow never ends. During the first few days after her death I was seeking for
solitude, an explanation as to why it happened. But as days goes by, even though it is so hard to
accept the fact that she is not around anymore, I begin to realize that she doesn’t want us to be
like this, to grieve rather, she wants us to remember all the good times of our family being
together.

This and the fact that my sister is in a better place and with the Lord. Gives us a feeling of relief
as Romans 14:8 stated: If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So,
whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. It may be a long and difficult healing process for
us, we are now content knowing that she is in a better place now.

Rest in peace Ate Kai.
