learn to let go gracefully (read all 16 entries…)

This one's for Jay 3 years ago

Could it be any harder to say goodbye, live without you
Could it be any harder to watch you go, and face what’s true

If I only had one more day….

I’d jump at the chance
We’d drink and we’d dance
And I’d listen close to your every word
As if it’s your last
And I know it’s your last
Cos today… you’re gone

Could it be any harder to say goodbye, live without you
Could it be any harder to watch you go, and face what’s true

Like sand on my feet
The smell of sweet perfume
You’ll stick to me forever baby
I wish you didn’t go, I wish you didn’t go
I wish you didn’t go away

Touch me again
With life in your hands…
Couldn’t be any harder

(from “Could It Be Any Harder”, The Calling)

Thanks hon

It’s being a weird day… I’ll be fine for five minutes, then really upset for five minutes, don’t really know what I’m feeling :-p Hugs are definitely the #1 need today! ::hugs back::

and

it’s ok not to know what to say, the worst thing is people coming out with comfortable lies about ‘it’ll all be ok in time’ and crap like that… I really appreciate people who have the honesty to say they don’t know and be here for me anyway. ::hugs::

yeh well

I honestly have no experience of what you’re going through, and am no authority on the eventual ok-ness of anything, so will just shut up and hug you!!

Must be really confusing. ::hugs::

Anniversaries like this are hard....

that’s one reason why we have friends, to help us through them.

wow...

I’ve been reading these entries and wow… they’ve really flooded emotion out of me.

I don’t have any real experience with death of a loved one except to know that I’ve worried about it and it’s my GREATEST fear. It’s something that nobody could predict how they’d handle it until it’s actually happened.

You are a strong girl, probably a lot stronger than me. I LOVED that picture of your hands around the candle and think honoring loved ones gone with others who have experienced it is healthy.

I really wanted to write a nice response but like some others said I’m not really not sure what to say… just know that I read it and I’m thinking of you and you are in my prayers.

Thank you Sissy

I want to say I hope you never have to go through anything like this, but it’s a bit futile, because sooner or later everyone is touched by loss. But I would say that, worrying and terrifying as it is, do try not to worry too much. I’ve realised that worrying can’t change anything, and all it does is cause unnecessary pain over something that hasn’t yet happened and may never happen.

I’m no stronger than you or anyone else. As you so rightly say, you can never know how you’ll deal with something until it happens. At the time, I had no concept of strength or of ‘getting through it’. I just kept breathing because I had to, and gradually realised that I was still alive.

Thank you for taking the time to reach out. Many many hugs to you.
