A good friend of mine from work unexpectedly lost her husband, and it broke my heart. I'm still in a sort of funk over hearing this.
It's so hard to see bad things happen to such good people. She is one of those people that literally make the world a better place. I've thanked my lucky stars for her at work, for her kindness, advice and enjoyable chats. I've never seen her upset in the seven years I've worked here. Not even really angry! She is always so up beat and positive, her smiles are infectious.
Her husband was her whole world. I can't even imagine losing someone that close to you. I've lost a great deal of people who I loved dearly, but not a spouse. He was her entire world, her best friend, her rock, her constant. My heart goes out to her and the family.
I didn't want to include names here, out of respect for them. My apologies if my entry is difficult to follow. Either way, I just wondered how people move on from events like this.
The truth is, I don't think we every really "move on". What we do, is learn to live with the pain. Loss is loss, no matter how significant or insignificant. It's a necessary part of our lives unfortunately.
Some of us wait our whole lives to make those types of connections with people. It's just a sour and sad wake up call, to see how quickly it can be taken from you. No amount of time with the ones you love, will ever be enough.
