Everyday someone loses someone that they love. We know that they are in a better place, but does it ever get better? Do we ever really get over the loss, that emptiness that we feel? Do we ever really move on, or do we put a smile on our face from day to day so that the world will not see our pain? Does it ever get better? Does our heats really mend? Do they ever beat the same? Do we ever stop crying because we miss that person? I am one to say that the answer is ,”NO!” We are never the same,things are never the same, and we never stop missing that person. Holidays are the worst, birthdays, family gatherings, and all of the things that family does together, because that special loved one is not there.

We try to feel good, but that feeling of absence is there. There may be a song that is playing that triggers a memory, a smell, their favorite color, or a favorite chair where they once sat. There are a lot of things that could bring back the pain of loss. Does it ever get better? We can’t get better on our own, but God helps us get through those times of sorrow. He can mend our hearts, fill that empty space with His love. He will comfort us and carry us in His arms when we feel we cannot go on. He wipes our tears away and puts a smile on our face. He gives us joy as to where sorrow was, and He sings to our spirit that we may sing back to Him.

I know that letting go of the ones we lose is hard, even though they cannot come to us, we can go to them someday. Yes, tears will fall, but through it all we learn to completely let go that we may move on with our lives. But the question still remains, does it ever get better?
