Maybe the best way to cope with the loss of the people we love is to find them in as many places and things as we possibly can!

Dierks Bentley - Hold the Light

“The reality of grief is far different from what others see from the outside. There is pain in this world that you can't be cheered out of. You don't need solutions. You don't need to move on from your grief. You need someone to see your grief, to acknowledge it. You need someone to hold your hands while you stand there in blinking horror, staring at the hole that was your life. Some things cannot be fixed. They can only be carried.”

 Keywest - The Things I Wish I'd Done

It was on a Monday morning, on a Dublin bus into town

That I offered up my seat to an old man so he could sit down

He smiled and said:

They don’t make ‘em like they used to

And there’s no respect among the youth

For the older generation it’s a sad sad revelation

What the world is coming to

So don’t go wasting precious time

Heed these words of mine

Life goes by in the blink of an eye

Then you’re older, and it’s over

Time will fly like a bird in the sky

So be bolder, cos your time is much sweeter than honey

More precious than gold, it’s worth more than money

So don’t wait until you’re old

Youth is wasted on the young, sing the songs I wish I’d sung

Do the things I wish I’d done

Well he told me of his childhood, his triumphs and his failures on the way

Of his deep and boundless sorrow at the passing of his dearest wife Sinead

Then he smiled and said:

Find someone who makes you laugh

And live each moment like your last

Say I love you every night, say I’m sorry when you fight

And leave your anger in the past

So don’t go wasting precious time

Heed these words of mine

Life goes by in the blink of an eye

Then you’re older, and it’s over

Time will fly like a bird in the sky

So be bolder, cos your time is much sweeter than honey

More precious than gold, it’s worth more than money

So don’t wait until you’re old

Youth is wasted on the young, sing the songs I wish I’d sung

Do the things I wish I’d done

Then he pressed the bell and said farewell

Rose up from his seat and then he said:

Go and live your life my lad, I hope that my advice will serve you well

Life goes by in the blink of an eye

Then you’re older, and it’s over

Time will fly like a bird in the sky

So be bolder, cos your time is much sweeter than honey

More precious than gold, it’s worth more than money

So don’t wait until you’re old

Youth is wasted on the young, sing the songs I wish I’d sung

Do the things I wish I’d done

Those days

There are days when we feel deeply wronged - when we look at the accomplishments we'd have by now, only to find they were either taken from us or never achieved. 

On those days, it feels like our world is "crashing down". 

One Republic - All Fall Down

Home

The truth is, we all need a “home”—a sanctuary, a safe harbor—a place where we can truly be ourselves, free from judgment, surrounded only by support and love. It’s a space shaped not just by the people we trust most, but also by the physical place we call our own, where we don’t owe explanations to anyone, and can simply exist as we are.

So, fight with every ounce of your strength and resilience to find that place! Fight for the life you know you deserve, without worrying about what others might think. In reality, most people are preoccupied with their own feelings, not with yours or your happiness. Your journey is yours alone—prioritize it.
