You lose someone you love and yet life goes on.
The earth still spins.
The sun still shines.
The clock still ticks.
The birds still sing.
As you struggle to comprehend the weight of your grief, you find yourself waiting for the world to pause, for everything and everyone to stop what they’re doing, to stand still with you. Instead, life moves on – uninterrupted, indifferent, immune to your pain.
While the world continues in its usual rhythm, you remain frozen, trapped in the moment of your loss. Your heart shatters into a thousand pieces, and your world spins off its axis. In an instant, everything has changed, yet nothing around you has. You have been cast onto an unfamiliar path, navigating a life that feels scary and foreign.
You try to hold onto what once was, to all that came before – the familiar, the comforting—but it is no longer within reach. It has become a permanent part of the past, in a world that no longer exists.
As much as you long to deny the cruel truth, you can’t. Like an uninvited guest, it quietly settles into your heart while whispering this relentless truth: even though they are gone, life goes on.
In their absence, you’ve lost not only them, but you’ve lost yourself – your former identity has vanished, leaving no traces of its existence.
With painful clarity, you understand that this new reality is all that remains. There is no going back. There is only moving forward without them, without the person you once were.
