“It’s never the being without that’s the hardest. That part, you can manage. Something leaves, or someone, but life goes on. You go to work, you make dinner, you have warm conversations with friends, you feel the sun on your skin, you find joy again. Bit by bit, the empty place in your life fills in. Not completely, maybe, but in time, the hole it left behind isn’t gaping enough to suck you in.”
As always, @doublemmartin is someone you need to read. Always.
