Loss

Losing someone is something that we can't avoid no matter how hard we may try. It doesn't matter how far back in your mind you push the thought, the reality is; we will all die someday. Of course, its super hard on those who are left behind trying to hold it down while the memories of times past fill our minds and hearts.

I think about what I would do if I lost my fiance everyday and everyday I come to the conclusion that I simply could not bear it. Yes, I would live on but it would be so hard to be without someone who had been such a significant part of my life.

I know that two entertainment icons died and while I hope they may RIP, this post is not about them. I loved Michael Jackson's music and always will. But I never knew him personally and the news of his death did not hit me as hard as someone else's did.

Earlier this week, my cousin who got married last month delivered her first son at five months. He weighed one pound. He fought to the end but passed away. His funeral was yesterday and though I never knew him personally, my heart is heavy for my cousin and her husband.

It must be so difficult to know someone for such a short time and lose them so quickly. Its amazing how quickly your heart can be attached to someone and then they are gone.

This post is for my cousin and I hope that she finds healing, comfort, and peace during this time.
