Loss


You never know how good something is until its gone...you never can truely appreciate life until the day you realize it could be taken from you in an instant. You never truely feel that emotion of gratitude just for your breath until you get punched in the stomach and lose it all...when you lose someone dear to you, you feel so many things that its difficult to even think straight. The most powerful thought going through your mind is normally, "why?" why did this happen? why didn't it happen to me instead of a precious little 14-year old boy who didn't deserve it.
when i found out (name left out for respect) died, i was shocked beyond all belief. I was friends with his big brother and the first thing i wanted to do was hold him and hug him and be with him. i couldn't believe such a horrible thing had happened. (brother's name left out for respect) is so strong and i'm going to be with him every step of the way if he needs it.
death is never easy to grasp. the fact that you'll never see that person again just hits you like a thousand knives and kills your soul and dents your faith. but, as hard as it is to grasp, death is a part of life, just like birth. the hardest, but best thing to do is try your very hardest to move on. Of course you need time to mourn, nothing wrong with that at all, but it makes everyone feel better when you're not all sitting around and crying and blaming yourself.
you're not to blame. the person who passed away wouldn't want thier family to spend the rest of thier lives in agony, thinking it was thier fault, when it wasn't. Death isnt easy, and no time will ever truly heal it, but strong faith and a powerful soul will always help.

I felt the same when someone close to me died,

and I know it's a horrible experience.

But eventually you pass through it..

It's been a year now since he's gone, and I've realized that I concentrated on what I had lost.. when I now can concentrate on what I once had.

He was a great friend.. and I'm sorry to have lost him.. but I'm still grateful to have been with him for the short time he was with us.
