I Have Lost People I Love From Cancer

Today is the one-year anniversary of my mom’s funeral. I feel worse today than I felt on the one-year anniversary of her actual death, which was last Tuesday.

So many people say that you (we) will get over the loss with time. Those people are foolish. The hole in our heart does not mend or grow smaller. We do however build a fence around that hole, a fence to keep us from falling into the abyss. We look at the hole and remember our loved ones, remembering the good times and the bad times. We reflect on how their lives shaped ours.
A big hug to you Smartkat.
