This made me choke up. I have been thinking often about the very real eminent fate, death, and the thought of losing my parents at any point in time makes me want to crawl deep into the earths core, close my eyes, and wait until I can see them again. In short, I don't know how I would live my life without them here. Your article, however, showed me that the pain is normal and they never truly leave us. Death is redirection I suppose. A way for us to express our love and form connections with people we've lost in ways we couldn't when they were around. And that in itself is a beautiful journey to be experienced.
I think about this a lot. I don't know what I'd do if I lost one of my parents, but you're right, pain is normal. Some days are harder than others, but who we become in the process of experiencing loss strengthens our resilience and can ultimately shape the course of our lives. Thank you for reading and sharing this with me.
