I am Missing the Future Too
When a loved one dies, our lives are altered forever. This includes the future we anticipated.

When a loved one dies, our lives are altered forever. This includes the future we anticipated.
FROM THE GRIEVING HEART:
When loss strikes, our lives are forever altered. We don't like this new life. Someone we love is missing.
FROM THE GRIEVING HEART:
I don’t like this new life. I want a life with you back in it. I miss talking to you. I want to hear your voice — not a voicemail, but your real voice. I want you here, now.
Loss sensitizes us. It can make more kind and compassionate. We can look back and wish we knew then what we know now.
We need to be heard. We need to be seen. We want to be loved. Grief is hard enough already.
We know loss is painful, but none of us is quite prepared for the loneliness that descends on us.
From the Grieving Heart:
Grief is a marathon. It's fatiguing and exhausting. We can wonder if it will ever end.
From the Grieving Heart:
When loss strikes, our future is unpended too. what we anticipated is no more.
When loss hits, our lives are upended. It seems that everything changes. We hear the term, "new normal." Often, however, we don't like this new life we're living.
We're hurting. The last thing we need is to be evaluated. Unkind and unhelpful words end up only adding to our burdens.
We miss everything. This hurts. We wonder how long this will last.
