We never see death approaching. Even in the happiest moments of our lives, we never expect it to walk through the door and change everything, and our world shatters. How do we go on? How do we pick up those pieces of a life that no longer exists? Could we ever find love again?
After death’s passing, we are left to live a life ripped open. Emptiness clings to us as we struggle to move forward. Memories haunt our minds, and mementos of them only made the pain worse. And how do you continue living when all you think of is the one that left, and what if they were not who you thought they were? What if the one you loved was really only a stranger?
They say that time heals all wounds, but how long would it take for their death to fade? In the wake of their passing, confessions are told, comfort is sought, and change continues. And the idea of loving someone else seems so wrong, but what if love can’t wait? What if life refuses to be put on hold?
