Living without a loved one
What is it like when a loved one leaves the world leaving you lonely? How incarcerating is the pain and loss? How does one cope with these feelings of being left bereft and empty?
Unless you face such a situation where you have lost a parent you will never realize what it feels like. Without that umbrella on your head, how lost one feels. When there is no one to confide in, or seek advice from.
But time, as they say, heals everything. If not heal, at least it blunts all scars and wounds, and clouds painful memories. You still grieve and mourn, but slowly forget that searing pain and loss. You cover up the void with other things and activities. Slowly that person's place is taken by someone else, and you learn to live without that person.
Perhaps that is life. And that is what life teaches us....to flow like a river, gathering memories and replacing experiences. And prodding on no matter what.
