BereavementTips

A lot of people often say "I am sorry for your loss" and things like "I can't imagine what you are going through." Well I would like you to imagine something for a minute...

So you were out one night having a good time and feel like you are on top of the world. The next thing you know you are waking up in Hospital in pain and can't feel your arms or legs. You start trying to move them but there is nothing but pain. Pretty soon a nurse comes in and tries to explain and calm you down. She tells you there was an accident and both arms had to be amputated at the shoulder and both legs amputated at the hip. You will never walk again and you will never be able to feed yourself with your own hands again. Your life as you knew it is completely over.

That is what it feels like to wake up and no longer have the person you have loved for years feels. That empty pit in your stomach every time you think about them. The pain in your heart when you just want to touch them or have a conversation with them. It's things you will never do while you continue to walk the earth. Many times you want to go to sleep at night and sleep forever instead of dealing with the pain.
