Keep Breathing

I awoke to the news of the passing of one of my friends' family members. It is in those moments life is hard. It is in those moments you find yourself struggling to grasp and understand. It is in those moments we find oursevles wishing we had just one more day one more moment. It is in those moments that life just doesn't seem fair. It is in those moments the very life in us seems to be sucked out of us. It is in those moments we wonder how - how we will ever get pass this loss. How will we ever live life the same. The truth is death is life's biggest lesson for those that remain. The person leaving us will be granted the understanding in all the questions that we now hold. It is hard to lose someone. It is hard to truly imagine a world where you can no longer see their smile, hear their laugh, feel their touch. It is hard to grasp that you can search every inch of this earth and never find that being. So what do you do... what do we do in that moment. It is simple and yet hard... all we can do... all you can do ... is keep breathing. Keep breathing. You will catch your breath soon. Life and living will come back to you. You have more strength than you know. You will get thru this moment and then the next. It may not be all fairy tales and happily ever afters but I promise you - you will get thru these hard times and you will wake up one day and find the sorrow a little less. You will one day be able to think of your loved one with a smile and not a tear. You will one day. Til then just keep breathing. JUST BREATH. JUST BREATH. no words. no actions. no questions. no answers. KEEP BREATHING.
