Loss hurts so much.
You talk to it constantly, begging it to go away, but it won’t listen.
It is like a bully who just keeps taunting you, not giving a care about how you feel.
There are days when you wake up and think, “Maybe I won’t cry as much or as hard”. Or “Maybe I won’t have as many sad moments where I would give anything to have my loved one back”.
But no, those moments still appear.
You think it is taking too long for the hurt and pain to disappear.
What I have discovered this past month since losing my dog Echo is it’s best to just accept the grief and let it run its course.
If you ignore it. If you stuff it down deep inside, you are only going to make it worse. You are only prolonging the pain.
I would give anything to have Echo back. I really would, but I know that cannot happen.
I know she would want me to move on, so in her memory, that’s what I’m going to do.
I’m going to find ways to live the best life I can, no matter how much it may hurt.
With one exception…
Echo will be with me every step of the way because she is now in my heart.
