I have lost many, many, most to death and this year is proving to be quite difficult. Your reflection has left me today, in particular, almost at a loss for words.
It's part of life, I know, but it's hard every time. I have learned something from each loss and to move on.
I'm so sorry for your loss, whatever and however it happened. When someone goes, something of us goes with them but they leave us with the memories, the good memories.
Hugs Galen.
Loss can be difficult to deal with for some, no doubt.
I know people who have expressed a deep-seated fear of losing someone, not through death, just the loss of friendship or relationship...but when those very same people do it to others, just simply disappear...it's ok? Umm, nope, it's not ok. But that's people for you, they have a way of being disgusting assholes.
No, it's not right what they do.... so they were not sincere. Better to stay away from these fake people.
