My Heart Hurts Today

My heart hurts today.
The loss of a loved one is never easy.

Tender, broken and so wide open.
So full of love, so beautiful.
The waves of emotions, energies and memories break over me when least expected.

Life is a precious thing,
but so is death.

Death brings up so much to the surface
The unavoidable mirror of change
and the inevitability of loss.
The lack of certainty and control,
and the great unknown.

Emotions are high,
everyone dealing with it in their own way,
messy and inelegant.

The appreciation and love for those who are both gone and those who are still here.
All parading past in my heart.
Every moment filled with equal intensity of love and pain.

 


In memory of my dear Uncle Andrew, 1951-2019
