| The Beauty of Grief |
|
There is an unexpected beauty that comes from grief.
When losing someone you love so much is tearing you apart, it is comforting to know that you would not hurt so much if you did not love that person so deeply, if that person had not also loved you so much.
When the anguish is unbearable, even years after the loss, a person can be thankful for the genuine love that they have known during this lifetime.
Yes, there is beauty and comfort in the gift of grief they have left behind for you.
Please don't tell me differently, because I could not go on if I did not truly believe my grief was a precious gift.
It is a loss that allows me to remember childhood memories with a bittersweet nostalgia. It is a loss unlike any other that I have experienced. It is a loss that haunts me even seven years after.
I wallow in the grief and remember my promises. I promised to love her, remember her always and do her no afterlife harm.
Every day that goes by I miss my sister and regret the days of old age we will never share together. And I thank her for the gift of this all encompassing grief; it is her love for me that gives me strength.
In memory of my sister
