The Grief, The Grip and The Void

Back then, when it happened we were all shocked. We refused to believe it and never wanted to let go of it. Pretty much what happens when you lose a loved one. Most of us have endured and gone past these feelings. We love being in denial, we love grieving, we love what we've lost and more than anything else we want it back in our lives. As much as we hate it but life does move on. We go forward while cherishing the good memories and learn to deal with our anger, fear and pain. The sorrow was fresh and needed time to dissipate. Coping up is a lot easier since then.

Today it has been a year since I lost my first dog, Tiger. Hearts heal faster, it is the grieving that takes a while.

"When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight" - Kahlil Gibran
