After seven years

Some people ask me if the pain ever stops. The answer is no. You do however learn to live with and around the pain. There are actual days when you can go hours without letting your mind or heart take you to the pain. You can go whole weeks without tears. But, always the pain is just below the surface, and can come back at a seconds notice. I notice also that if you are upset, or hurting for any other reason the pain of the loss of someone comes roaring back. I hope that if you are huring today that you will know someone cares and is willing to be there for you. Nancy
