You will lose someone you can’t live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss.
But this is also the good news.
They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up.
And you come through.
It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly that still hurts when the weather gets cold,
but you learn to dance with the limp ...
(Anne Lamott)
“So true, losing someone we can't imagine living without is a pain that reshapes our world, leaving a void that time can’t fully fill. The truth is, we never completely get over the loss; the wound never fully closes. Yet, in that brokenness, there is a strange comfort. The love we shared keeps them alive in our heart, a presence felt even in their absence. It’s as if our heart, though cracked, grows around the loss, holding it tenderly within.
We learn to carry the grief, like a broken leg that never quite heals, aching in the cold moments of life. But over time, we discover that we can still move forward, learning to dance with the limp. The pain becomes a part of us, a reminder of the deep love we were fortunate to experience, and somehow, despite everything, we find a way to keep going, finding beauty even in the midst of sorrow.”
