A friend and I were discussing the loss of loved ones in our lives that have passed on. There is no easy way to deal with certain losses that plummet us into deep, deep sadness. Those people who have touched our lives in such a positive way and have positively taken up such a large space during a significant amount of time in our lives, now gone. That positive and significant amount of space in our lives becomes a substantial large empty void in our lives that can never be filled. The stages of grief appear to stall on one stage and may remain there, or so it always seems. It is an uninhabited void that will always be there... without our loved one’s positive physical existence filling it. What we can do is feel blessed to have had them in our lives. They are the good instilled within us that still shine through (Thank you Mom). What we can and should do is continue on, living our best life possible, in memory of those dearly departed loved ones who have touched our lives in such a beautiful way.
