When You Lose Someone

 When you lose someone, you are shocked and filled with melancholy. At first you do not want to believe it, but you soon come to the fact that there is nothing you can do. Instead of having second thoughts about your own life, you sit down with the deepest of thoughts. You choose to only sit alone, because whenever you hear a single word from your friend or family, you just hear nothing but the deceased person's voice. If you are a serious mourner or mystery author, you live long enough to not be able to distinguish the difference between a stage prop and a real gun. You choose to conduct your own investigation to see if the manor of death was really the actual cause. What you may find can shock you. After the little investigation, you start to dwell. You dwell on how this person affected you so deeply. You dwell on not being able to cherish all of those precious moments with that one person. You dwell on the past and you start to let it become your future. Most people will tell you to move on with life and that the person was just one of the 7.6 billion other people on this Earth. No. Not to you. This was one of the closest people you had in your life. With this particular person, it is hard to move on. You think to yourself, " How can one fully functioning human being change into a figment of your imagination in just a millisecond?" You think that this is just a mystery book, waiting for the final twist in the plot where the deceased comes back alive. The sorrow is just too much to bear. You fall into a deep spiral of sadness, frustration, and tears. It will be hard to get out of this whirlpool of emotions, but it can be done. The only way to beat death and pensive sadness is to be stronger than it. Forever carry that person with you in your heart and turn the page.
