Essay on losing a father and the value of life published in Ghana — MyJoyOnline

In Ghana, MyJoyOnline published an essay about experiencing loss, the fleeting nature of life, and the need to show care for loved ones while they are alive. The author says that September reminds him of the death of his father, whom he lost five years ago.

A memory of loss

According to the author, his father’s death came unexpectedly, and every September brings him back to the events that preceded this loss. The text emphasizes that a person does not know which day may be their last, and that death does not warn of its arrival.

The author uses the image of six feet of earth to emphasize the limits of human life. In his view, awareness of mortality should encourage people not to postpone important decisions, the realization of plans, and conversations with those they love.

A call not to postpone care

The essay calls for paying attention to loved ones while they are alive rather than limiting oneself to honoring them after their death. The author writes about the need to help people today, tell them about one’s feelings, and not waste time on envy, resentment, or disputes over property.

He also emphasizes that death does not distinguish people by wealth, skin color, or status. The text concludes with a call to live fully, love, serve God and people, pursue dreams, and not postpone life until the future.
