Pain

My Grief seems to know no boundaries.  It is always there.  Sometimes it hides behind a smile or a moment of real laughter, but it always returns quickly with such painful force.

Not a day goes by without tears and physical pain.  The human body is not equipped for such overwhelming loss.  It aches, and there seems to be no remedy; no relief.

In every quiet moment I feel I am fighting to survive this.  It is exhausting.  This is the other side of love.  Only a love of such purity could cause a wound this deep.

People say, "give it time, it will get easier."  I don't know how chronic pain can ever become easy.  I don't know how devastating loss can every feel ok.
