How Can She Go On?
A boy at the Shabbos table told me that a teenage girl he knows just
lost her father and he asked; How can she go on after such a tragedy?
Even if something so horrible happens to us, still, we have go on. We
cannot end our lives too. At such times we have to remember that we have
two choices; we can either focus on our loss and feel miserable the rest of
our lives, or we can look for the good that we have and go on to live
joyful lives. What would our lost one want for us?
That girl suffered a great loss but compared to some, she had a
wonderful portion. Some girls never meet their fathers at all. Some do not
even know who their fathers were! This girl had many loving years with her
father. She should be thanking G-d that she had at least that much.
An important lesson for one who has suffered such a loss is that when
a person passes away they go to a place so far away that they cannot
contact us, but we can send them a present whenever we want. When we do a
*mitzvah,* we can ask Hashem to send the merit of that *mitzvah* to our
beloved and that credit will elevate our beloved’s soul. This way we come
to remember them, and are even able to help our loved ones who have gone so
far away.
