The pain of loss can be tough to reconcile. The word why often creeps into your thoughts and corrupts your heart. It casts a shadow that becomes a personal tragedy. Pain and loss distort your memories and perception of the future. And in the process, they begin to rob you of the memories and experiences you shared with your loved one.
None of us know how long forever will be. My forever will be different than yours and everyone else’s. But until my forever comes to an end, I will try to focus on the time that I shared with those I loved- and still do. Even if they have passed on, they remain in my heart. And my mind must focus on the love and life that we shared to keep them and their memory strong in my heart. I refuse to let the pain of their loss take away all that we shared, and all I can continue to accomplish thanks to their company on part of my journey.
