Life Stories & how they continue on even after you die

I've sort of come to this conclusion several times over now in the past several months... You know sometimes your life story simply ends with no rhyme or reason - other times you foretell the ending before it happens. You've read the story before. It's not unexpected but it's not without bitterness. However the true comfort is that just because your life story has ended doesn't mean it's truly over. It will remain within the libraries that your loved ones carry with them. A collection of moments, experiences and encounters. So long as there are people here who still remember you and pass your story along, it never truly dies. It still exists, it's perhaps ended but people will still read it and remember it.
 — feeling incomplete.

Loss of people especially people you never expect to lose and secondly you never realize how much they meant to you upon their passing. It's like a puzzle and no matter what you do you'll never have the pieces. They are gone - and I will will likely never get them back. Loss brings so many emotions regret mostly - of missed chances and opportunities and of questions that will likely never get answers. However you sit there with your incomplete puzzle and you treasure the pieces you do have - the picture it does create albeit not fully.


Grief is such a tricky thing to try to explain let alone to begin to understand. With it comes so many things. It's like this unwanted Pandora box that you didn't realize would impact your life to such an extent. I will probably dig up my early posts about loss of loved ones that I wrote on the other two occasions that I came face to face with death earlier this year
I wish more than anything I could bring the people back I lost however I cannot do this - no one can. We must try to move forward as best we can even if we don't even know how that is. We have to try to find the lessons that each day bring us be it ones we never wanted to learn or those we so patiently spent mastering.
Life or at least ourselves are very much like magnets without the positives and the negatives we cannot live in one piece. We need a little bit of both in order to grow. We have the power within ourselves to attract things and dispel them at our own choosing.

So right now though it seems impossible I'm going to accept that today was another unexpectedly tragic day but there is something here to learn from - to grow from
