A sudden absence of something or someone we cherished and an unforgivable amount of time was spent taking it or them for granted. A sudden absence, manifesting in a gasp, a deep grasp for air to breathe, an abysmal void, then, an unrelenting sadness.
We try to be 'strong' not for ourselves but for those that we care about that are also survivors of the painful loss and sudden absence. We can assuage the impact of our personal subjective and individual pain by leaning on each other, by sharing...
Behind this smile are many tears and to this end, we must love more.
"Must love more"....really the only answer to the world we find ourselves in. Well said, my friend. I am sorry for your loss and the grief you are experiencing. I am grateful for your large heart which expands year by year.
