on death

To those I adore,

I started to write this blog about a friend of mine who had lost her mother to cancer very rapidly (3 months after diagnosed). I was going to go deep into how to exist in a world without your parents/loved ones. As I typed I realized just how full of it I was. Trust me I went in the full circle and contridicted myself many of times and then decided I cannot possibly write about that. I have no experience. As far as I know, with who I am today, when a loved one died I would not exist anymore, part of me would be gone. That is all.

Love,
Rick

Rick, when a loved one dies, (my mom) a piece of you is lost, maybe that means it died I don't know, but something is really different and after a couple years, it's a bit easier, but not the same. Love your blog. Thanks....Yendor
