Loss

“I tried so hard to make you happy. Why wasn’t it enough"?”

“I waited for you to come home each night. I kept thinking you would. But you never did. So I stopped waiting.”

These are the words which continue to haunt me and which are filled with heartbreak.

It has gotten better with time, but every once in a while these words and memories flash before me and I am reminded of how sad grief can be, of what the heartbreak of loss can feel like when you’ve played an irrevocable part in it.
