Heaven is the face

Today I listened to a song that a man wrote, whose daughter got killed in a car accident by his son in his own driveway. It's a very sad thing to lose someone close to you, when someone old dies of age it hurts but, not as much as when a child who hasn't even fully experienced life yet dies at such a young age. So many things she would have missed in her life. Especially for the father and mother of that child.

It's good the father at least had confidence that his daughter was with God, if he didn't have that who knows where his life would have went. Some people can be pretty devastated at the death of their own child at such a young age. I think he's lucky to be a christian in this situation. Having a confidence that when someone dies, they are still alive somewhere, can be a really comforting thought. Some people juts can't handle the fact that someone close to them is gone.

A lot of people deal with death in a lot of different ways. Some people go into depression, sometimes even suicide. Some people juts can't emotionally handle it and their brain just...shuts down. Most of the time it's in very negative ways people deal with it, you're not really concerned about being an optimist in this type of situation. For him it was writing a song, which is a good way of dealing with it, sometimes song is the most creative way to express your inner thoughts.
