The empty places
Our lives are full of empty spaces that once were occupied by loved ones. Sometimes the void is left behind by someone's death, and sometimes by people, who were once a big part of our lives, decide to move on.
when people die, if we had a healthy relationship, they leave a void and we miss them, we miss them and we miss the space they took in our lives. The shared moments, the support and even just the idea of having them there whenever we needed or wanted to talk.
when a loved one, on the other hand, decides to just sever contact and step out of our lives, the grief left is mingled with the pain of feeling that we were not enough.
