Is there anything you want to tell yourself during that time?

Yesterday I got a call from a close friend.

He lost an important person in his life.....

This incident made me think about "loss" in many ways.

Whether it's the departure of a loved one.

From either alive or out of breath.

A family-like pet.

A relationship that must end in the form of a friend who used to be close.

Or even our "former self" at some point in life.

But no matter what we lose,

The same thing is

Our hearts will never be the same again.

Some cried.

Some people behave normally.

Some people say jokes.

Some are silent and temporarily disappear from the online world.

And all that... is to cope.

In the way he could at the time.

Being sorry doesn't mean we're weak.

Missing doesn't mean we don't keep walking.

And smiling fast doesn't mean we don't love, don't bond.

It just means

That thing... or that person.

Really mean to us.

If anyone is now in the midst of a "loss," no matter what form,

We all face losses in our own way.

There is no right or wrong way.

You can cry. You can be quiet. Give yourself some time.

The most important is

Don't pressure yourself to "have to be strong all the time."

"Losing doesn't mean disappearing from the heart."

What about you... is there anything you want to tell yourself about that time?
