Sadness, Heartache and Pain

[Ginny19]

A couple days ago, I wrote a journal post about "LOSS".  Without any association to my post, my dear friend, Angie, was experiencing the sadness of the loss of her son just two years ago. 

It is much easier to practice non-attachment to material things than to people we love, especially one's child, as I know.

While I do feel as though I've come to understand and accept loss of loved ones, it doesn't mean that I don't still feel the painful emotions associated with that loss.  It only means that I've learned to deal with it in a more peaceful manner.  I really do believe it's a difficult part of life that no one can escape.  But, it does NOT make it easy.

My dear friend, Angie, wrote a journal post yesterday.  It's filled with emotion and the deep love for her son.  I'm hoping you will read it --- "Two Years Have Come and Gone".

Then, please give your children a big hug and kiss and tell them how very much you love them.

Angie might tell you that I've helped her.  But, in reality, she has helped me more than she'll ever know.

I think you are right. The hurt doesn't go away but we can learn to make peace with it. Thanks for sharing your insight.
