Loved And Lost
When you lose
someone you love,
life will change,
you rearrange,
When we lose something that is precious to us, we are left with a feeling of sadness. Whether it is a precious friend or even a treasured object, the loss can be hard to bear. It is as if a part of you has gone missing. Throughout our life we amass collections of friends and treasured possessions. Having close relationships help us feel as if we are not alone in the world. When we lose someone or something that is precious to us, we may realize that there is a certain aloneness that can never be filled. Ultimately the condition of life is one of being alone before God.

That it can not be summarized in words you simply can write

Since the day I saw you,
since the day we met,
I knew this I wouldn't forget.
I have loved you more than life itself,
Heartfelt. It brought back memories of the time I saw my father dead in his armchair watching TV, with a trickling tear on his cheek.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
I have to be strong not for me
But for everyone else
I want to cry I want to scream
But no one can see my hollow tears...
I'm so sorry for your loss but I promise you the strongest thing you can do is cry WITH your family. Don't stuff it inside trust me I know what I'm talking about. It will either come out...

That lightly draws its breath,
And feels its life in every limb,
