The Healing Power of Love
She had repeatingly told him that love is the greatest force in life. Then there’s death. It doesn’t end there, though. It overshadows death. In many ways, it goes on to affect all those who survive, including all those she has left behind. This woman’s love for him was a healing balm and guided him through some of the darkest days in his life, giving him the strength to embrace the rest of his days.
He started writing to her, putting thoughts and emotions on paper almost like connecting to life. The letters became a ritual-a way of dealing with the gratitude of the life they had shared and lessons she taught.
With time, he also learned to love in many other expressions—through friendships, acts of kindness, and even children’s laughter from a park. The note opened his heart to the feeling that love was not restricted to one relationship but was a boundless force that existed everywhere.
