My cousin recently lost his wife. Suddenly. I can’t understand what he is experiencing, but I can see that he has entered a different reality. I think there is no going back. The sun may shine again for him, he may experience joy again. But not as the person he was before. I think it is the price of love. Worth it. But know that to love deeply, your child, your parents, your lover... though it brings incredible joy, also makes you vulnerable to great loss. And when it happens it’s something that those of us who have been fortunate enough not to have experienced, need to treat as holy ground and tread lightly. At any moment we could be thrust into that world.
