There are times when I wonder, why would God do this? The most common answer would be "God has a reason for everything" so when something happens that I don't want, I try to see it from God’s reason perspective, but this time, I couldn't, at first, I thought there was no reason, but I had to put my trust in God, knowing that he must have a very good reason. Because every time a kid talks to Beti or Amy about Belisha, these words would ALWAYS be said; 'Belisha was like a 2nd mom to me.' This was true, she was like a mom to every kid who knew her, she was so kind, sweet, and cheerful, her characteristics could go on and on. She was so lovable that people who didn't know her well bawled their eyes out the day after she passed away. She touched many lives with her kindness and generosity. She was a fantastic person, and even if we don't see her again till we meet her in heaven, she will be in our hearts and watching over us.
I’ve known Belisha for all my life, my parents met both Abe and Belisha and we lived with each other for months, while they were living together, my dad would tell me how he and Belisha would fight each other for fun, how they would talk about random things and have fun all night, both Abe and Belisha and my parents became good friends and that’s how Beti and I became friends.
Even if Belisha is gone, she is in a better place. The day Belisha passed away, I felt like a truck ran over me. Thankfully, Hanicho helped me. She told me that losing someone you love is never easy, and it’s natural to feel grief and sadness. It’s okay to cry and express your emotions because that’s part of the healing process. You don’t have to pretend everything is fine, because it’s not. You have the right to mourn and honor her memory. I later gave this advice to others. Because nobody is alone in this difficult time, we all have each other’s back, no matter what happens. We all miss Belisha, but she is in a better place now. Belisha will always be remembered and cherished.
Abe; you’re not going through this alone, you have a family, a community to help you and have your back.
Beti, Amy, and Melat; if you ever need comfort or need a shoulder to cry on, we’re always there for you.
May God
Matthew 5:4 - Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
