Have You Just Lost Someone You Love?

When you lose someone, and we all have, it is a weird feeling of loss, sorrow and an emptiness that nothing can seem to fill. Numerous people come up to you whispering their condolences and well-wishes, their words of “I understand what you are going through” and it all sounds hollow. For anyone who has never lost someone close to them, you will never quite understand until you do. For all who have lost even one person close to them, the feeling is like no other.

I have read numerous books on dealing with sorrow, grief, and “moving forward” with life. Although they seem to have common threads that bind them together, they still leave one with the same emptiness that was present before starting the read. Rest assured, there is truth and great guidance/wisdom in reading books regarding the subject, however, the answer IS and always WAS, inside each and every one of us.

The answer is never the same for anyone, except for the age old, timeless classic of “time heals all wounds” - this one I would agree on for most any who have lost. Take a piece from this book, and a scrap from that book, and piece them all together to make up the book that makes it bearable for you to get through each day.

For all who share my sorrow of loss, my heart goes out to each and every one of you. May you be guided to find the answer(s) that will help you heal and mend and bring a tear of joy in each memory instead of the sad ones you shed now.

With condolences........
