"Can a heart really break? Can the one left behind be ever consoled? "... these are the questions asked by one columnist in our local newspaper about a man who lost his entire family to a fatal road accident. He lost his 17-year old son, his 39-year old wife & his 6-year old daughter. The father worked abroad to give a better life and future for his family and now he came home finding his entire family dead.
“This is only a bad dream! Please tell me this is not true!”, the father wailed. One couldn't help it wishing it only to be a bad dream. How I wish that its only a bad dream but its as real as it could be. My heart broke and my tears flowed even if I don't know them and only knew of the incident from the newspaper. I can't even begin to imagine the pain that the father is going through. It must be beyond anything painful in this world...a grief so profound that one can die of it and really have ones heart really broken.

it would be the greatest test of his spirit to move on. life may not be fair but it sure would bring out the best and worst in ourselves. I too, can't imagine how it would be like if i were in his shoes. it's going to be a whole new life for him. all we can do is pray for him.

Now that you put it that way, I agree with you. It would indeed be a test of his spirit. I can't conceive a more imaginable pain for any person to go through. Those who are strong in spirit will still move on with an aura of strenght and character. Such experience can fortify the strong of spirit and destroy those who are weak.

I don't know if one could ever completly recover from something like that. I do know in time people have gone on to live happy and productive lives after facing some of the most horrific tradgedies. It would take a long long time, I'm sure. I get really sad hearing these kinds of stories to. I don't have to know the people to imagine what it would be like to face something like that.

i think it depends on the severity of the situation. if it is too tough that has happened to him, then there is no reason that the loss is irreparable.he has lost his family and taht is truly so sad.
if the intensity is so much, may be time will erase some pain, but he will be broken.
