Death
"The reality is you will grieve forever, you
will not get over the loss of a loved one; you
you will learn to live with it. You will heal
and you will rebuild yourself around the loss
you have suffered. You will be whole again,
but you will never be the same again. Nor
should you be the same. Nor should you
want to."
-E.K.R
Death is never an easy subject to discuss, but eventually we reach a point in our lives where it seems to be the only subject we're talking about. Death brings on a a unique kind of pain. It's one that once it happens it will always be there. We lose something in us that we will never get back. We are changed. We are able to understand and love more deeply.
Death unifies families and friends. We may not ever be fully healed, but we are provided with love and comfort from others that are hurting just as well. I can't quite say it's inspiring, but it is moving.
I don't write about my personal experiences with death. I don't like reminiscing in the dark memories. The waves of emotion are too much for me to feel in such a fragile state.
After all the grieving and pain that was felt we allow ourselves to come up out of the shadows and stand on our two feet stronger than ever.
