I don’t believe people when they say, “I can’t live without you.” Because this is just a sweet lie said out of emotion. Look at your parents—when their parents passed away, they still continued living. You too, when the time comes, will go through this experience. Of course, it may be difficult at first, but people eventually get used to it. The main reason I don’t believe in the phrase “I cannot live without you” is that our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, yet we are still living. He (peace be upon him) said that a believer’s faith will not be complete until he loves him more than anyone or anything else.

Now, ask yourself: How many times a day, a week, a month, or a year do you remember him? How often do you feel sadness over his absence?
