It is really hard to remember loved ones, in the first moments after they leave, the last images come to my mind.... the ugliest ones of the disease, and I feel very sad, especially for what they have suffered.
Then time goes by and both on birthdays and on the date of death I usually remember them in their spirit, the good things, the good moments, anecdotes.... although the ugly images do not come on those days.
This is a post that touches the soul, at least for me today, it has been a hard year, this holiday season I will try to remember those good times and the most beautiful days.
Thank you Galen!
They say time heals but I don't think that's the case, it just brings perspective and that can help people deal more effectively with the loss.
I think the same, the pain is there but it is seen from a different perspective. So it is.
