Loss is hard. Thirteen years later and I’m still trying to figure out how to deal with it. Everyone loves to tell you how time will heal all. I don’t know if I agree with that.

Time hasn’t healed me, but it has normalized things. You get used to the way things are, and slowly accept they’ll never go back to the way they used to be. But time doesn’t heal the wound.
It could be a beautiful, sunny day and a simple word will take you to a different place, or a memory will hit you like a ton of bricks. In an instant, you’re right back, overcome with emotions as if it was the day it happened.
