When you lose someone you love~~~

When someone you love dies,
a part of you dies too.

For as much as the one you loved did not belong to you,
your heart belonged to them.
You were part of each other.

There is a physical hurt within you.
It is as real as the emptiness that surrounds you.

You will wonder how you will walk in a world
that no longer holds the footprints
of your loved one.

You will wonder how the world can go on
when your world has stopped.

You will speak silently
in the language of tears,
as your heart seeks to understand what it cannot.

Spiritual thoughts,
religious beliefs,
and philosophy
may not take away the hurt.

But the power of love will comfort you.

Love will be found in the hearts of those
who surround you and care about you.

People who have been in the place of sadness where you are now,
will be there for you.

The sun will continue to rise
and the moon and stars
will still light the heavens.

You will begin the sacred daily ritual
of "remembering".

Your grief will become your traveling companion...
the part of you that is compassionate,
and strong, and deep.

In your suffering you will be given
the greatest challenge you will ever have...
to be able to accept what life gives,
and what life takes away.

Peace will come to your days
as you begin
to live again
accepting the mysteries
that are part of life.

With time...
the veil of sorrow
will lift,
and you will see
what is most precious
and most sacred
is the love we share
with the ones we love.

Peace will come to your heart
and you will know
this love
is an eternal gift.

This love lives forever.
