How Do I live Without You ...
There is a terrible sadness in surviving the death of someone you love so much.
You are still here. You still have people you love, people who love you, people you want to be here for. You want to be part of their lives. You want to stay.
But you desperately want the person who died to be here too.
And that is the unbearable truth of living after such a devastating loss.
You can love your life and hate what has happened to it. You can be grateful for everything you still have and feel utterly devastated by everything you have lost.
You can want to live and still ache with the sadness of having to live without them.
There is an enormous difference between surviving a loss and being able to bear the reality of it.
You don't stop missing them. You don't stop wanting them. You don't stop feeling the terrible injustice of their absence. You simply continue living with a truth that hurts every single day.
And perhaps that is what survival after great loss really feels like.
Still here. Still loving. Still grieving.
Still wishing, with everything in you, that they were here too.
