Journalling reads: Grief is one of the hardest emotions to explain to other people. How can you even begin to explain the gaping void the person left behind, when there is nothing physical for anyone to see, except the red rimmed eyes and dark circles from the many tears you have shed. How do you start to describe the burning desire you have to hear their voice or just hold them one more time. How can you define the difference between the loss of a child, you never really got the chance to know and someone you have known and loved your entire life, you can’t really say that one hurts more than the other, but you can’t deal with them in the same way either. At first it’s just blinding pain, a haze of misery you can’t really see your way through. Every memory overwhelms you, stupid things like a random smell or a photograph can spark the memory of them and make you start sobbing. Each anniversary comes and you are overwhelmed with a mix of guilt that you got through another year without them and overwhelming sadness at the memory of how much you still miss them. No matter what people say, it doesn’t get easier with time, it just changes, and you get better at dealing with it. The minutes you can go without thinking of them become hours and so people tell me days, weeks, months or even years but for me personally I have never managed to go an entire day without feeling like I’m incomplete without them or missing them both.
