I lost a dear friend unexpectedly! What is it like to lose someone who is close to your heart in so many ways?! The pain is excruciating. It felt like a finely pointed arrow cut through the sky and punctured my heart. So many “could have”, “should have” and “would have” run through my mind but nothing seemed to have helped. I wept. I felt helpless.
I stood by his family but I could not comfort them. How can I?? If I could not accept the reality myself, what could I have possibly done to make them feel better?? I felt crippled. Words do very little in situations like this. In fact, words are not required as they do more harm than good. All I could offer is silence and my presence.
It has been few days but I still think of you my friend. I miss you. I think about the time we spent together. Your always smiling face still haunts me. I still feel the deep agony in my heart and I can’t find the way out. I have realised that only way to deal with it, is to allow it. Accept it. Feel it. Go through it.
Time is the only healer that can rescue me from this pain of loss.
Nothing is more important in life than life itself.
You will always remain in our hearts with your smiling face.
I hope you are in a better place.
My friend, rest in peace.
