Loss

We understand loss of loved ones who pass on to the next plane of existence. We cannot explain the grief but we understand it. But the loss of one who was longed for, lived for? The loss of one we hoped to know; spent untold years pondering with great expectation. The loss of one we found but were unable to connect with. The loss of one who still lives, breathes the same air. We cannot understand it--only be crushed under it.
