Living a full life is a blessing denied to many beyond our understanding, but it also comes with the determination to carry on in the brief time we have to live apart. We lose parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, close friends, soulmates, children, etc. However, we can embrace peace, faith and hope in the understanding that we are an eternal soul with a mortal body. The bond between us is merely paused for a season.
I’ve found the following observation to be useful:
“The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one; 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. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to.”
--Elisabeth Cabler-Ross
