I have been having a think.

I have been having a think.

Though grief is hard, sometimes overwhelming and often suffocating. I realised that had I not loved the people I now grieve I would not be the person I am today. Each one made their mark on me, some in a good way, some not so good.

I am grateful to those I have lost who made me a better person.
I am here despite those I loved who tried to make me smaller.
I am an accumulation of my own hopes and dreams tangled up in the memories, laughter, tears and carry some of each of those people with me.

If energy cannot be created or destroyed, then the essential energy of those I loved and have gone is still here. Perhaps not tangibly, but it is all around me. I get great comfort from that.
