HeartSupport It’s been nearly 3 years since my best friend passed, it took the heart out of my world, hearing the translation of this song has brought me to tears again. It never leaves you and no matter how long or how far you go a single moment can bring the loss and the pain back. If you know someone who’s feeling this then just hold them tight and let them know that they’re alone because I can garuntee thats how they feel :cry:

I am so sorry for your loss. Grief is something that we can think we’ve processed and the next thing you know, all of the emotions come flooding back in and you feel so devastated and alone. It is a very powerful and very consuming emotion, I understand your hurt my friend.
Know that through my screen, I am giving you a big hug. I have felt similar loneliness to how you are feeling and I promise you that it will not last forever. Although those we lost are not here with us physically, we are not alone. I see those I lost in the kindness of strangers, the wind in trees, and the sky when the sunset is extra pink. Sometimes I will have thoughts like “she would be so proud of me now if she could see me”, and those make me know that no one is ever really gone. Their memories will always be with us, and those memories are what help us to live a life worth living that would bring them joy and pride.
I am here and I am grieving with you. I am blessed that someone like your friend was able to know and be known by you, that is such a gift for you both. As you process this grief, know you are not alone. The memories and happiness that you had and felt with your friend will not leave you. Know that I care for you deeply and I feel your grief my friend. You are so very loved <3

Thank you so much for that encouragement. Everyone needs to know that they are loved, and I want you to know that you are loved and cared for deeply my friend. Dealing with loss and attempting to cope with it is SO incredibly difficult. It’s not something we can simply fix with therapy or medication or even a new friendship. That person is gone and it feels impossible to move on without them.

I don’t know why we go through things like loss, and I wish I could say the words that would take your sorrow away. But while I don’t have all the answers, I want to share what I do know. I know that regardless of how hard it might get and how heavy your grief might feel, you are grieving alongside so many other people right now who also feel similar pains. And while that might not take away your pain, you can continue pushing knowing that you are not alone and that there IS hope and joy in the midst of this loss.

When I’ve struggled with really heavy situations, I often feel like I have to get past them in order to feel happy again. I’ve learned that living like that only brings disappointment, because the reality is, our lives are filled with suffering. But we can choose what to do with it. For me, knowing that there is a God who grieves alongside me and offers me eternal love no matter what I am going through has been the only thing that has kept me going. And no matter what you believe, that same unconditional love is available to you too.

Ultimately, no matter where you find yourself today, I firmly believe that joy and peace are not as far as they may seem in this season. You are not wrong for feeling sorrow after three years, and you do not need to overcome that sorrow in order to feel happiness. Right here, right now, just as you are, there is hope and love for you. You are loved eternally and you are NEVER fighting alone. I am praying for you right now my friend, thank you for being honest and for being here.

@@HeartSupport Today is a good day. Thank for such kind words my friend, the truly help a lot. It’s hard to grieve as I’m sure you know, even harder when you’re alone. We may not know each other ourside of these few words but that you had the kindness to write to me is amazing, it helps and I’m not sure why? Thank you again for writing and I hope, perhaps, we might open a line of dialogue so we can continue talking.

@@HeartSupport Thank you for talking to me, your hug is very much appreciated (I do love a good hug :blush:) I think the hardest thing is ehen you catch yourself out and firget that they’re gone and then it hits you again, I hate days like that, but I know I have to keep putting ine foot in front if the other and keep going on for her snd for myself, though it is tiring and hard being alone. Your kindness however lights up the path and eases my grief and for that I wish to thsnk you from the bottom of my heart as it helps a lot to know domeone, somewhere is thinking about me.
