Letter from Williamsburg

In the first paragraph of this letter the author states " There is the death prayer, your whole body crying "why" and the voice again, telling you will see your loved one again in heaven". This line means something to me, last year I lost my dad. When I received the call I felt numb and I was crying for a long time, you keep asking why and more questions. You wonder all of these things and there is no answer especially if there's no explanation that can give you some closure based on what happened. But as the voice that keeps saying why the voice in your head is also saying you will see your loved in again in heaven and I believe that's true. Whether people believe in God or prayer, I do and I believe I will see my dad again one day. Sometimes people are just brought up in beliefs but that's what my family believes in. That line the author stated is very true when it comes down to your whole body crying. Your whole body feels weak, you can't feel anything, it's in shock for such a long time. I didn't know when I would feel my body again. Things happen in life and you have to learn eventually that's apart of life and bare with it. It has not been easy for me but life isn't easy for anyone. The author talks about a lot of different prayers, I feel the meaning of these prayers she mentions is apart of life people go through. No one knows what's going to happen, it's all planned already as some people believe which may be true. But it's our job to find out what that is because life is about living and learning. People go through life finding themselves, figuring out who they are, what they're good at, what they want to be or do with their life. This letter was very mind opening about a lot of things. It kind of made me feel more open minded about this topic of different prayers  since I had that experience and since then I never thought more about it since I read this letter. I thought it was very good, very different!
