nothing ever takes away the pain of such a loss.
i once thought in time the pain would lessen but although it is pushed back and is no longer always at the forefront of our lives it remains ever-present in our hearts.
time does naught heal all wounds. we never fully get over it.
what we can do is continue on and keep the memories in our hearts and minds and live on to live life. to see things our loved ones can no longer see... to experience things they can longer experience. to come to appreciate all things for what they are and find the good in all things. we do this for ourselves... and for them as they have taught us to do.
remember them and they are naught dead. they will live on forever in us. pass on their memories and what they taught us to others.
one is only truly dead when they are forgotten.
never, ever, forget.
