You've lost someone who is so much more than just “close” to you. You've lost part of who you are. That person was part of your past and supposed to be part of your future. That person is part of what has made your life worth living. You literally cannot imagine life without them. As you go through your days, you find yourself about to call or text them. You want to tell them what just happened to you. But, of course, you can’t. It’s not fair. It’s not right. The pain is unbearable. This is the hardest thing you’ve ever had to live through. And it seems like everyone else has moved on. You can never move on.
