Life looked so different for me and I had to find a way to cope and navigate this world without the most important person to me.
Grief is heavy, but so is love.. and somehow, we learn to carry the weight of both.
the weight of what’s gone is not only in the sadness. sometimes it’s in the realization that some things will never be the same again.
it’s as if they are just out for the day and will be coming back sometime soon but life doesn’t give us that courtesy and the silence reminds us that they won’t be returning home.. ..and i think that is what hurts the most.
we replay our last words over and over again. always wishing for just one more chance to hear their voice and i don’t think that the longing to speak to them, just one more time, ever truly goes away.
when we have to say goodbye to someone we love, we aren’t just saying goodbye to them.. we are saying goodbye to our future lives that we never imagined them not being a part of.
they say that grief is the price we pay for love.. but what they don’t tell you is that sometimes the cost is so high that we never truly recover.
grief and regret go hand in hand. all the what ifs. all the i should haves. they will drive you mad.
heavens gain was my hearts biggest loss.
in my heart, your love will reside a bond like ours, not time, distance, nor death can divide.
the hardest part wasn’t just the loss.. it was the learning to live without them in a place that doesn’t feel like home anymore.
the second you died, i knew that i would miss you for the rest of my life.
you were the best of the best. you were the heart of our family. you were the rock that we stood on. you were the glue that held it all together. and nothing has been the same without you.
they say that grief is the price we pay for love and i think i would pay it a thousand times over if it meant that i could hug you one more time.
i miss you in the quiet moments i miss you in the loud ones, too.. and every moment in between.
from the second you took your last breath, i knew that i would miss you forever. your loss has left a tremendous void that nothing could ever fill.
