from "Living when a loved one has died" by Earl A. Grollman

How often in happy times did you ask, "Why?''

When blessings were yours and life was joyful, did you ask, "Why?"

Now death has shaken your faith,
"Why?"
"Why me?"
"Why didn't I die first?"
"Why must my life be one of sorrow?"
"Why?"

There are no pat answers,
No one completely understands
the mystery of death.

Even if the question were answered,
would your pain be eased,
your loneliness less terrible?

There is no answer that bridges
the chasm of irreparable separation

There is no satisfactory response
for an unresolvable dilemma

Not all questions have answers.

Unanswered why's are part of life.
==========================
the last sentence is the answer to our question 'why?'...and, while, it's not what we want to hear....when we think about it...it is accurate...

we always want a solution, someone to blame, take the responsibility....and sometimes there are no answers....tough for us to accept, tougher to move on, but move on we must...accept on 'faith' that which troubles us...the same way we accept other questions on faith

"unanswered why's are part of life...keep moving forward, remember grief is the healing path, not the destination"
