What a hard topic this is for us to speak and write on. You never thought you'd be writing or sharing an article with this content ever in your life, but yet, here we are.

The whole world felt like it stopped that day, didn't it? When you look back, it seems as though it were a blur, maybe even a nightmare you had one night. Yet, you don't ever wake up from it, do you? Time passes on and the days get easier, but there will always be a piece missing from you. You'll always feel the sting of the reminder when it hits you after your mind has been wandering.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Nothing anyone can do or say will make you feel better. The only way to ease the pain is by each passing day and learning to cope. Lean on your friends and family, as well as his. They'll always be there for you to hold onto and to have a shoulder to cry on. You are so strong, and I believe you will get through this. We all have something in common, and we can find comfort in one another.

The phone calls, the texts, the movie dates, and everything in between are no more with you two. He's not here anymore and you're not quite sure what to do without him. You could be reading this after just losing your boyfriend, or this boyfriend has been gone for years now. You still wonder how everyday life would be functioning if he were still here.

How would life be different today if they were here? Would we still be with them, or not? What amazing things would they be off doing? A million and one questions to be answered, but they will remain unanswered. I know, it's cliche to say, "everything happens for a reason," but we have to live in the hope that it does. Sometimes it is hard to find the reason why they left us so soon, but after a while, we learn why. Whether it be saving lives, bringing awareness to an issue, or something else, it brings a little comfort knowing that even though they're gone, they're doing something brilliant in their absence.

Even though the thought of this can be hard, we all have to move on at some point. Thinking of being with someone else when you were perfectly happy with another person seems practically impossible. But, it's possible. We have to know that we still have a future ahead of us, and we need to prepare for it. Someone else will come along and love us just as much. It doesn't have to be something we accept or work on immediately, but it's a topic to think about. Baby steps.

Keep on moving forward during this difficult, and almost incomprehensible, time in your life. I know it's hard, but you have an army behind you ready to help you and comfort you.
