Quote That was the thing. You never got used to it,...

That was the thing. You never truly get used to the idea of someone being gone. It's like a wound that never fully heals, a void that can never be filled. Just when you think you've come to terms with their absence, something happens to remind you of their absence.

Just when you think it's reconciled, accepted, someone or something comes along to stir up those feelings of loss and longing once again. It's like a wave crashing over you, overwhelming you with emotions you thought you had buried deep within.

Someone points it out to you, and suddenly you're back to square one, grappling with the reality of their absence all over again. It's a harsh reminder that grief is not a linear process, but rather a rollercoaster of emotions that can hit you at any moment.

And it just hits you all over again, that raw, gut-wrenching feeling of missing someone who was once a significant part of your life. It's a pain that never truly goes away, but rather ebbs and flows like the tide.

That shocking. The shock of realizing that they are truly gone, never to return. The shock of coming face to face with the harsh reality of mortality and impermanence. It's a jolt to the system, a reminder of the fragility of life.

But amidst the pain and sorrow, there is also a glimmer of hope. Hope that one day, the memories of the ones we have lost will bring us comfort rather than pain. Hope that we will find peace in knowing that they will always hold a special place in our hearts.

So, while the pain of loss may never fully dissipate, we can take solace in the fact that the love we shared with those who have passed will live on forever. Their presence may be gone, but their impact on our lives will never fade.

And so, we carry on, cherishing the memories of those we have lost and finding strength in the love that binds us together, even in death. For in the end, it is love that truly conquers all, transcending even the boundaries of life and death.
