Activity 18.1: for Writing
A Model letter that helps you to write a lotter
Nefas Silk, 203 Addis Ababa August 12, 2021 Dear Marta,
I hope this letter finds you well and holds up over your mother’s death of a traffic accident. I know what a difficult time it is for you.
I think that when God created mothers as the very special people that they are. He had your mom in mind already. She was truly one of those blessed and good people who are full of so much grace and dignity.
I know your faith will comfort you. My prayers will be for you and your family to find the peace and strength that comes in knowing that a loved one has gone to their eternal rest.
God Bless You.
With love and affection,

Dear Feysa
I am so sorry to read your devastating news. I never met your Dad, but know how wonderful and supportive he was to you over the years and can only start to imagine what you are feeling now.
You will gradually find comfort in all the happy memories. Your parents found their new life in Australia and lived the last years of thier life in contentment there, surrounded by family.
Your dad lived to see you find happiness and security and love. He will have died content for knowing that. AND best of all he did not suffer a long illness.
Make sure you find time to grieve and allow yourself to do so – and don’t expect it to pass quickly. Losing a parent takes time to process for us mortals. Do you remember I was in the aftermath of losing my dad when we first became close? I didn’t fully recover from that for at least two years – and made some very strange decisions and acted out of character for much of that time.
I wish I could be with you to try to help somehow. I’m giving you a big hug now from halfway across the globe.
Sending love to you and all your family. Take care and hang on in there.
