Love and grief

When a baby is born, he is not yet conscious of his-self. He knows only hunger and sleep and is mostly surprised by external stimuli. Somewhere along the way to being a man, he learns the ways of this world and is introduced to this bizarre, absurd concept on love! Love adds color, purpose and a sense of belonging to in life. It provides a safe haven, comfort, joy and peace.

When you lose someone special in your life, it feels like that love which has no where to go, is constricting your heart, and it causes the scary sadness, we call grief. Those who have lived through grief will tell you that its nature's way of healing a heart in love. Just like a physical injury needs to heal, grief allows an emotional injury To heal.

It's the heart's way of paying homage to the one it loved. With time, grief takes away the pain of absence of your loved one and leaves instead beautiful memories to be cherished.

So sometimes we just need to give "time" sometime to heal us. And pray that the soul of our loved one finds purpose again in this universe.

Here's to keeping my faith in this wonderful emotion we call love and trusting grief  to hand back my precious memories sans the pain soon.
