To Those Of You Who Are Gone, We Miss You

I like to think that there is a parallel world in which the souls that have left this world coexist. I like to think that the new ones have something that you are no longer around. I like to cling to the idea that there is something or someone close to me that brushes me every day with fragments of them.

It is just that, a way to revive those who left, who we see in the sky, who illuminate our lives every night. This is so, we need to feel their presence outside of us, even though we know that they will never return.

The truth is that each person who left our life is a star in the sky, a star that will never ever go out. Because it is in us where the memories of what they meant and what they will always be remain.

How to write a story when it is not finished yet?

When a person leaves, our life comes to a standstill, our heart skips a beat, and we become blocked. However, if there is a way to begin to continue writing our history, it is with tears and with hope.

Their departure teaches us that it is not death that scares us, but that what is truly torturous is living with the pain of knowing that no matter how much we cry and how much we suffer, we will never see them again.

That scares, scares a lot. It is a pain that goes deep inside and that we do not know and do not want to remove. Because, at the end of the day, it is the way we now have them in mind every day, which is why we hang on to it for at least a few months.

I still need you, I will never stop longing for your presence

We make the mistake of thinking that over time it will stop hurting and that can make us feel guilty. The loss of a loved one always hurts, don’t tell us lies.

There is a long path to go, you have to hit rock bottom, you have to cry and feel deeply that something has broken, that it has gone and that it represents a before and an undesirable after in our life.

However, despite all the pain and sadness, our day to day continues, and we have to accept his departure, understanding the meaning of death and life. It is not easy to recover and admit that there is part of our life that has remained unfinished, the months go by and we continue to remember those that you are not, feeling and thinking about everything that was pending.

To embrace those who are not there again and be reborn

When life separates you from a loved one, the memory of their smile is the best way to move on. Every day of our life we ​​would give anything to feel again those who are not here, to have a few more minutes with us and say everything that now suffocates us.

But  we can overcome it, we can find a way to live with suffering and longing. The best way to move forward is by reinventing hugs, turning them into memories and addressing those who are gone every day. Therefore, our best tribute will be to add joy to our days, making his memory a part of our happiness.
