Does your heart ever still hurt because you miss someone you lost?

I lost someone very close to me nearly a year ago and it still hurts like hell. The anniversary is next week. I've had real ups and downs. Naturally feeling low as the first year comes close to passing. I miss them so much it physically hurts. I just wanna cry. I just want to talk to them. But I've been told over and over again that it's been a year and I should just get over it. It's been so long I can't be sad anymore. That's not fair.

I had several colleagues that died on 9/11. One woman in particular was a broker, she would come to my city for dinner and she always paid...she was a million dollar producer and I was just a scrub but she treated me like gold just for being her rep. Anyway, to this day, I still think about her almost every day. To think she died the way she did over some "religious war", etc. it just saddens me that someone would be so heartless and cruel to be driven to do such a thing. Anyway - thanks for reading. Cherish life.
