My lesson from Capt. Kirk

Yesterday I was driving along listening to a radio program and all of a sudden I hear an insight into death and grieving I never expected.

Here I was listening to a bio of William Shatner (of all people) and Captain Kirk is giving me a concise definition of hope after death: “Life doesn’t have to end at death if love is present.”

WOW!! That is exactly how I have been feeling these past years. Life does go on with the love that is in our hearts from the life of our child. So true. I live each day remembering the joy my dear Stephanie gave me – despite the horror of her death.

I often tell my son that life is unpredictable but we must take what we are given and try to find hope in what we have rather than what we have lost.

And as William Shatner said: “Life doesn’t have to end at death if love is present.”

So it goes – life goes on.
