A MEMORY HUG
Your loss has left a hole in your heart.
That hole never goes away…
you learn to live with it.
With acceptance of the loss
and changes in your life,
the pain lessens.
Eventually memories fill up the space,
but it never goes away.
Then, when you least expect it,
a memory spills out
of the hole in your heart
and washes you clean again with tears.
Think of it as a “MEMORY HUG”
