“Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.”

Lin Yutang

I often get asked “Where do I get the strength to carry on?” Well, often it is through the love you have gained, often it is through the love of family and friends, often it is your own desire to live through the pain like your loved one would want you to…and often it is in communities that just understand how you feel. A community that is there for you in those sleepless nights, those days that seem so dark. Wherever your strength provider lies, you will find it….of that I have no doubt. Why because as human beings we were born to live, we were born to love….and someway our minds and our sould will find a way…

I hear you cry during the night, I hear you ache for the hug that will say that your partners heart was still beating next to you, I hear you beat each moment fighting that desire to give up and join the heart you are missing. You are my soul and my way of living through this grief. I understand your pain and will be there for you. You need my support at this tragic time. I will feed you well, I will exercise to keep you healthy and I hope that one day we will come through together…. You were born to love and I need to find a way to encourage you to risk opening your feelings again. After all, a heart was born to love, with love comes risk but with risk comes the chance of falling in love again.

Keep beating, keep taking one day at a time….I will be there when you  are ready to live again.
