Sometimes we need to grieve, not just for those who have passed, but for those who have changed in such a way that the person they once were is lost to us. We can allow ourselves to mourn the memories, and yet still cherish the way their world used to blend with ours to create a place that was safe and whole. We can acknowledge our sorrow for the loss of what will never be, but sometimes tomorrow’s dreams are better washed away by the tears of today.
