Aftermath - A Psychological Approach

What is aftermath?

Death.

Life, as we call it is always not about being alive, its about being dead too. Life, as we call it is always not about competition, hatred or jealousy, its about love too. Life as we call it is not always about getting busy to hold on to things, its about realizing and letting them go off.

Death is something which can be talked about and can be felt in different ways. We can have many personas on death, but we need to understand how and why it's a necessity to have a look either way on it. Death itself is a concept of leaving and leaving behind something, so why not make the best of it. When we know that we need to let it go at a certain point, after a certain phase then why not prepare for it and take it all in a positive sense? It's not a reasonable action to term it as something demeaning and depleting.

Death is eternal. You know you’ll have to go through this phase too. Your dear ones will go one day too. Well you don’t know when. Yes. Death excites me, its something which I’ve heard of all my life but haven’t seen. Heard people going through it like a process when they get old, also like a surprise visit by it when they die early. Why do you think it happens? People die early. They leave their shadows behind to haunt us. Their room smells like them giving us the thought each and every second that they aren’t there anymore. We fear talking about them, we feel sad taking or hearing their names doesn’t matter when alone or in public. Its just we get scared that one name, will bring all the happy memories back and will make us drown in their love again. We part ourselves from love and we forget about the time. We start staying alone, avoid talking avoid sharing. We avoid living. The death of one person can make a big impact on so many lives. But all of what I said? It happens usually too, when people leave. There’s a thin line between dying and leaving called living. People leave us, they go far away, the conversations stop, and all of it happens. Healing becomes the method and time becomes the process and eventually we end up getting fine again. So till the time the people who are precious to you are around you, be the reason for their smile, because you never know when they will go with respect to that thin line. So always keep a goodbye note ready with a smile on the face. Learn to say ‘Goodbye’, only then you will be able to ‘Welcome’. There’s always a new life to an old death.
