You know, I hate grief. I really do. I am in a phase in my life, in my adulthood where grief is my opp (opponent) and..,
I can't stand it
Because of how much it hurts
Because of how unexpected and invited it is Because it is jarring reminder that the people that you love
The souls that you love have been lost to the great abyss, that is death.
For good
Never coming back
You know how you can replace a phone.. replace a book
replace a pen
Replace your cards when you use them?
You Can just
“oh! Crap! I lost it. Lemme go get another one. Let me go get another one. Lemme go apply for another one.”
And then you've got it
“Within five business days” or whatever…
The way, I wish
The way my heart longs for that to be the same with people
You loss someone today, within five business days they’re back
And you're laughing again and talking about their experience of not being here for five business days.
Or whatever
You know, Maya Angelou once said to a woman that she was in an interview with, that was interviewing her.
She's is not afraid of death, she doesn't fear death
Because that is one promise that cannot reneged upon.
It is absolutely certain that it is going to happen
And that's great to come to peace with it as a person. Where does one find that same peace when you’re the one left behind and you've lost your loved one to that
Like… it… I think…
I know the answer.
I think my brain is just finding it terribly hard time to fully accept that I will lose.
I have lost
And I will, likely still lose the people that I loved to it.
And I think that's why I cannot wrap my head around the the concept of reincarnation Because it’s not the same
I want my people to come back to me.
Now
I’m real time
Whilst im still alive.
And if we go again, we all go together.
That is the deal
I don't know.
Loss and grief and
The pain of loss and grief are metaphysical dilemmas that I have not yet conquered.
