Not the demise of a loved one or someone we know. That death comes with its closure.
But the death that happens while people are alive.
The relationship that you were emotionally invested in, but you realise the other person was not there in it in the first place. It is not about a romantic relationship at all, but about all other relationships that we nurture.
We make friends at work, crack jokes together, achieve tough targets, walk through highs and lows together, and then one beautiful day, out of nowhere, the relationship is gone.
My wish to you, is that you process that loss, instead of thinking it doesn’t exist.
When you suppress it, it further strengthens. When you acknowledge it, it annihilates.
