No matter how full our lives may become after a deep loss, that particular empty place will always be empty. Or, rather, if we're lucky, that place fills back up with the memories and lessons we cherish about the lost one.<br /><br />HUGS,<br />MAMarian Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842321321484056422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35406795.post-12728646450084977632012-10-16T14:24:48.644-06:002012-10-16T14:24:48.644-06:00It has always seemed ironic to me that we bereft h...It has always seemed ironic to me that we bereft have to be understanding of those who run from our grief, but as you say, they cannot be blamed. Unless you experience having someone ripped from your life and your soul, there is simply no way to understand. <br /><br />Wishing you peace.Pat Bertramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07029664976723092097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35406795.post-90004822314927259102012-10-16T01:30:27.086-06:002012-10-16T01:30:27.086-06:00Thank you for articulating so beautifully the suff...Thank you for articulating so beautifully the suffering of grief. I can identify with every word spoken in this post. I learned in my extremity that people - even the ones we love most - cannot deal with raw emotion. They run away from it, rejecting the grieving in the process. Time has taught me that they cannot be blamed because they do not understand. I hope one day that they will, because it will signify that they have truly loved- and there is nothing more precious on this Earth than love that sends you reeling.
