Iโve lost distant family members, patients, friends, etc., but Iโve never lost someone so close to me. I cried over everything and nothing and wished to feel anything but emptiness and loss. I laughed over memories and smiled at the sunset over a lake. I flew to GA just to feel the emptiness in person. YetโฆI canโt help but feel happiness for knowing her voice, her love, her joy, her kindness, her unrelenting stubbornness. For seeing where she made her mark and who/where she made it in. Grief is weird and Iโll never not feel that void, but I hope I can grow to live and be comfortable with it.
