Each person grieves in their own way, processing loss is never easy. It helps to have understood early on that nothing lasts forever. Death is part of this life that's transient, the end never comes when opportune. It's comforting to focus on the treasures, no matter how short the love has lived. And what remains within the heart, enshrined, resides in there forever ~
