Lake of Tears
A message for a child who tries to help
his grandmother emotionally
Look, Grandma was still small when her father died in the war, it was hard for her to grow up without her dad. That's why she is often still very sad today and would like to cry. She was only one year old and she could not understand all this, she could not even go to the grave to say goodbye to her dad and she could not understand that he is with God now, but also remains invisible in our world and is very close to us when we think of him. No one leaves the world completely, but remains invisible with the people who love him.
When I was little, I thought I could help Grandma (my mother) get out of her sadness. For many years I tried, but I never succeeded for long. No child can dry up the inner lake of tears of the (Grandma) mother. As a child, you can only distract her from her sadness for a little while.
It is nice of you how you want to help and comfort grandma. Actually, you should replace her dad, so you should become her great-grandfather and she should become a child again; is that possible? I don't think so. Maybe Grandma really wants to be a child again and cry the tears she didn't cry then.
Young children sometimes don't dare to cry too much because they are afraid that the tears will turn into a huge lake of tears that you might sink into or just flow over you and then you can't see anything in the world anymore. That's why young children are sometimes afraid of too many tears, because these can become like a veil of water in front of their eyes, which makes it difficult for us to see the world.
But the tears we don't cry are collected in a big lake of tears inside us, in our soul. And sometimes it overflows and then flows out over our eyes and down our face. And then you have to keep crying and being sad. You can't just scoop out or empty the lake of tears.
The sad person has to carefully step into the lake of tears himself and dive in up to his neck and bathe in the lake of tears for a while and feel that every drop contains great sadness, but then you have to look up to the sun and ask the sun to dry up the lake of tears.
And then the sun will look at the earth very kindly and ask the trees and flowers to help. And then the trees and flowers with their roots will begin to suck water from the lake of tears and the sun's rays will warm the water of the lake of tears so that it will begin to evaporate and appear as funny little clouds in the sky. And so the lake of tears slowly dries up and the trees and flowers around it will grow and blossom like never before, because the lake of tears made the soil loose and moist everywhere.
And then the time has come that Grandma only very rarely is sad and only very rarely has to cry, perhaps only then when the sky cries, so that the earth does not dry up completely. But the flowers and herbs of the soul are happy when people cry their tears at the right time, and then invite them to be happy again and enjoy life and see again the many beautiful things in the world.
And great-grandfather, for whom grandmother cried, is now well and is with God and is very comfortable there and looks at us together with God, what we do in this world, and rejoices with us when we are happy.
