I'm not healed

I’m not healed. And the question remains: do you ever heal from such a loss?

I think no one heals from losing a loved one. People want you to move on and not dwell or speak about it. So we learn to grieve in silence. But we never heal.

I can ask someone who lost their parent, child, friend, or lover if they've ever healed from it…and the resounding answer is NO.

We get through the days and the nights. We get through life with an emptiness that will never be filled. We cry in private silence and pretend like we don’t miss everything about the person we lost.

We are great pretenders. We learn to move around knowing that we will one day be someone else’s great loss.

We never heal. Because it’s nothing to heal from. It’s not a disease. It's hearbreak. And we learn to cope..

We all somehow learn to Just Keep Going 🕊
