Death is rest yet it is pain.
Death is rest for the deceased but serious pain for the loved ones.
I lost my dad on the 27th of May 2019.
This hit me hard, it’s deep and really painful. Nothing ever prepares you for this kind of pain.
Each time I listen to Simi’s “Charlie” song, it really used to scare me, oh how it has now become my reality. I wish you had just stayed to walk me down the aisle, I wish you had stayed to reap the fruit of your labour over me, I mean, I haven’t even achieved anything yet. But that’s all I have now, Wishes! and it wouldn’t bring you back.
I still haven’t cried, but the pain is heavy, I wish these tears could flow, maybe it would take it all away.
I feel this way not because we had the ‘best’ relationship but because he was a great man; very hardworking, he had a heart of service, fair and honest in all his dealings, very intelligent too and his watchword was integrity.
Just when he got to the peak of his career, He was called HOME. If only he had the chance to live a little longer to enjoy the reward of his labour but…God knows best and I take solace in the fact that you lived a good life, left a good legacy and now you have gone to rest.
Adieu Hakeem Adeyemi Kosoko, a great man in every way! May your soul rest in peace! .
Fade ❤❤I am so sorry about your loss, I pray God comforts you. This must be really heavy and hard but I pray you find peace and solace. I tried to send DMs but my phone won’t let me. Much love! Boluwatife @mylagosdiary_
Thank you Boluwatife❤️
I am very sorry for your loss, Fadekemi.
I hope you’ll find that in some way, he did reap the fruit of his labour over you. He lived enough to see his child, his girl, become an adult who is finding her own way in the world. That’s a gift.
May God be with you, and may your dad rest.
Thanks for your kind words
I never met him but every time I read something about him or see a picture of him, I get so emotional. Truly nothing ever prepares you for the death of a loved one. No matter how tough you are it humbles you. May he find rest with his maker and may our good Lord comfort you and the rest of your family 💙
Thanks love
The finality of death while we’re on earth is such a rude shocker but we take solace in the fact that there’s an afterlife.
I can’t even imagine how you feel.
Please express your grief, let yourself feel and I pray God gives you and your the wisdom to deal with this loss in the best way ❤️.
Thank you Ife❤️
Just seeing this post girl. Its really hard. I know it. Its even more painful because you and Kunle recently celebrated his appointment after soo long. Like you said, how we all wish he stayed longer to reap the benefits of his hardwork and diligence over the years. But , death is inevitable. But be comforted by God’s words that very soon, death would be brougth to nothing and also, in the nearest future, you will see him again. God will call all those in memorial tombs and they will answer and be resurrected. Please, take solace in that. I know it doesnt eliminate the pain but it would comfort you in your sad times. Dad is just ‘sleeping’. He will wake someday.
Please, extend my condolences to Kunle too. Tell him from Titi(keke high school).
Thank you❤️
I definitely understand the numb feeling. I didn’t cry for over a month after my brother died but now I find myself crying at the oddest moments. The pain definitely gets better. God got you always.
Amen. Thank You❤️ I pray that God will comfort you
