Like a Candle in the Wind
Farewell, Serena
Origin of name: Serenus. Meaning calm, tranquil, serene.
Try as I would, the sudden passing on of a young mother and
wife keeps popping up in my mind. Serena
was her name. Like a candle in the wind, she left this earth. But not before
she had played two games of netball, probably harnessing all her energy and
focusing on the moment. Then she was no more.
Those who remain behind are still reeling with shock, trying
to make sense of the brevity of life; searching for answers. One of my
inspirational proverbs comes to mind: “ Do your outdoor work and get your fields
ready, then build your house”. Who says
that Serena – a young wife and mother who succumbed to a suspected heart
attack – had not come full circle by having completed her earthly stint and is
ready to resume her spiritual existence? Are we perhaps not projecting our own lack
of understanding of our purpose here on earth, when confronted with events such as these?
