Being left behind is as scary as leaving.

It's actually a quote from the movie My Girl and I, and is one of my favorites. It struck me with the fact that it's not only painful for the person who dies, but also with the person who is left behind in this world to how to continue his life after losing someone he loves. It sure is not easy. Some are left hopeless, some end their lives too just to be with that someone. Just thinking about it is sad. No one wants to lose someone, right? And it's not easy to move on. Not all of us could accept it easily and be okay with it right away. It would take time to heal.

Nometter how much time had been sufferings like that are never healed.I myself lost my mother when I was 15,and she was not only a parent to me but the closest friend I had had and I will evver have.It was very difficult to go through that experience and I never were the same person again.But as life goes on there is nothing you can do but to go on too.Now I am a very stable and I could say happy person even though I miss her everyday and I can say that this only made me stronger.And it is very true the statemtn that the one left behind is most certainly the one who suffers most,because he is the one left with his world fallen apart who should find the way to build it again.But once do it,you really become a stronger and a better person.

I'm so sorry for hearing that you both lost your mother already. It's true that she may not be here anymore, but she would always be with you in heart and mind no matter what. And with these kind of obstacles in life, we indeed learn to stand up again and become what we are today. But it really is different with a mother by our side, and as I still have mine today, I would never want to lose her.

hello, It really hurts and it feels like dying. When someone we loved so much die,or leave us,it takes time to heal the wound. It takes time to accept reality. Though sometimes we keep saying that we must be ready for surprises,but when the real time for surprises came,it's hard to face and accept that we are in that situation. I can still remember when i left my childhood friends. I cried a lot and wish it was just a dream. It takes years for me to moved on and make new friends to the new place where we moved. My childhood friends are part of my life,my growing stage and how i become. So,i could just imagine how much does it hurts when we lost someone who is our life.

Hi there, what you said is really true. Going away in a far away place is already hard, being apart from our loved ones is already heartbreaking, what more knowing that they won't be here in this world anymore? Even though there's time for everything, it would really be hard to accept the reality right away. Thanks for responding.
