I
have a friend who lost his first wife due to an accident which happened on her
way to Botswana and ever since his first wife died, my friend has never been
jovial and happy
like
he was when his first wife was alive.
These
had been married for nine years and had two daughters aged five and nine
respectively who are now staying with their maternal grandmother since their
father is has now married another woman.
This
is something that I don’t understand and will never understand.
Why
does a man have to sacrifice his children because of new love which has no
guarantee of lasting for eternity?
From
the people that I have lost in my life so far, I know that death of a loved
family member is something which leaves deep wounds in someone’s heart .These
wounds can last a life time especially if it was sudden death.
I
remember when I lost my father; I grieved for four years and up to now there
are still moments when I grieve whenever I think about his death.
If
I can grieve that long for someone that I have never stayed with, I wonder how
my friend feels whenever he thinks about his wife that he was staying with for
nine good years.For more information regarding to how it feels to
lose a spouse read more
A death video showing how heartbreaking death can be
I know very well that one is beginning to wonder how death is
related to my blog s but after finishing reading this blog, one would get to understand
that death is one of the challenges that men meet in their marriage as it
leaves a permanent trace in someone’s life.
Generally when one spouse dies, people normally tell the
remaining spouse that it’s better because he/she was left with kids who would
help the person to get over the death like what they were telling my friend.
The belief is that kids fill the void which could have been
left by the departed one and make the remaining one not to feel more pain like
it would have been the case if there were no kids.
How then does it feel when one gets married to someone who
does not want anything to do with children from his husband’s late wife?
How would you feel if the little bundles of joy which were
helping you to forget all the pain that you felt when your first wife died are
told to go and stay with their maternal grandmother by someone that you would
have married?
Do you just forget their mother’s death just like that?
I just don’t know what causes this.
Some women naturally feel threatened when they have to stay
with their step children with the reason being that the step children’s mother
will use the children as an excuse to get back to her ex husband.
This is reasonable as no one is happy or prepared to be
threatened by her husband’s ex wife
If that is the case, how on earth could a dead person be a
threat?
It is common knowledge that men love their children and it
makes sense if they get angry whenever their children are sent to stay with
someone else who knows nothing about them.
It’s a challenge that several men meet but we have never been
considerate enough to reason with them when it comes to their children.
How they wish they were single!!!!!!
