The True Pain
Folder:
Against the Darkness The final goodbye doesn't happen when the illness steals life.
The goodbye is not in the last hug, nor is it in the dying breath.
The true heartache does not start when standing before the casket.
No, the pain of goodbye, the bitter sorrow of final does not happen at the laying to rest in the Earth.
Where we all return all too soon.
The true closure, the pure pain and heavy sorrow of goodbye starts when we try to return to daily life.
To pick up where we left off even though the loved one is not here to continue life.
To piece together the shattered lives. To clean up, pack away items and solve the matters left for the family to finish.
This is where the true goodbye starts to happen. The raw emotion of cleaning up the pieces, finishing unfinished business and continue daily life without our loved one.
The sorrow doesn't start at goodbye before the casket.....
This is very profound, and,
This is very profound, and, in its way, very comforting as well.

It is comforting.
This is also about my grief about my grandpa I lost last year.
Just losing my wife's cat to illness, and us cleaning the home as well as piece it back together had me thinking this is when grief is the strongest. Not in the good bye, but moving on where we parted ways.
Thank you for the read.

Words
I cried heavy
The first night without kitty.
On top of my grief for my grandpa,
This just added more tears and emotions to write this.
As my wife and I started to clean the home, putting away extra cat items and cleaning up messes.... I realised that the final good bye for any love one is when we try to go back to daily living without them.
all life is precious. Thank you.
