Consumed With Loss

by Lainie Reay   Feb 15, 2021


I can't sleep.

When I try my head fills with images of you & I'm consumed with angry thoughts of why.

I don't think.

I can't.

My heart is hit with a pain so intense it feels like I've took my last breath as the water drips from my eyes.

I miss you.

I miss you so much I feel like I'm drowning in this never ending pool of loss.

I love you.

Yet death is so final that I fear my love may stay lost.

    It's always so difficult to lose a loved one, and it can takes a long time to feel happier - but it happens. You'll always miss them, and you'll never forget them, but it doesn't hurt as much to think of them.
    Just remember that it does get better. Sending lots of love and support during this time. X

    There really are few words to even begin to process loss... sending all the love and support to you during this time, Lainie. It's so hard to make sense of losing someone we love and hold dearly.
