Letting go of someone can be the hardest thing you have to do.

Especially when that one meant so much to you

You never imagined that death would do you apart when you commit yourselves to one another.

It’s like being caught up in a dream, thinking it will never happen to you, not realizing that it’s a reality until that reality comes true, and you are left without a clue what to do.

Death sometimes comes in like a thief in the night and takes away the precious gift you held onto so tightly.

Leaving you in a world of confusion and pain as you try to come to grips with why it had to happen to you.

Not a day goes by where playing the what-if game brings you peace, but somehow, the what-ifs are all you have to hold onto.

The love you thought was so untouchable has been touched by death.

The death of the one you thought you would grow old with, but instead death, it came for your spouse at a young age and left you grappling for breath.

A loss that is so severe takes time to heal from. 

There’s no timeline for grief and how it changes you from the person you once were.

The life you once had has now shifted into something unrecognizable, begging you to accept the new reality when all you want to do is cling to the past of what was.

I have learned that death will eventually separate many husbands and wives, and it takes time to heal from the immense pain you will experience to get back to your new normal.

It may seem impossible in the beginning, but I am here to testify that it is possible.

You will begin to heal, the loss will become bearable, and slowly, you will gravitate towards your new standard, knowing you are still here and must keep going forward.

Your story isn’t over, even though, at times, you wished it was.

There’s a reason for everything I had to tell myself as I accepted my fate of losing my love, and one day, you may have to admit that as well.

I always hold on to my belief that God has a plan for me and will use my story of how I came through for His glory.
