May you rest in peace.
Well, this post is for any of you that have ever lost someone dear to you. Where to start...
The pain I saw rush forth from your face as I drove up consumed my every fiber. The lost you had just learned of fresh in your heart, fresh in your mind and shown by the tears brushed away by your shirt. To think that you would see this day, and have to learn to live on, was something I never fathomed. To look in the rear-view mirror and watch the road pass in your sullen face, was not a feeling I wanted to experience. But now the tears flow a little less frequent, the sobs have simmered to a whimpering, and there is a glimmer of possibility in the future. Possibility that you can move forward...not move on but always forward.
I know the next few weeks will be hard, hard to wake up in the morning, hard to breathe, and most of all hard to live. But everytime you remind yourself to wake up, to take a breath, to live....it will get easier. So the next time you find yourself lying in bed, not breathing, remember just a little time...There is nothing that I can say that will end the pain you feel, but look around, and you will realize that there have been many wonderful people in and out of your life. They have made a mark, made you the person you are today, and you will understand that the void you feel in your heart will be filled with all the good memories that you had thought you had forgotten. Be strong, it is okay to take time for yourself, even the oak tree sways with the wind.
Rest in Peace
