To let go is never easy, be it an object we cherished or, somebody dear to us, and worse, something or, someone we loved. The empty space in our mind, the black hole in our heart can only eventually be filled and grown over with memories, but the scar remains and though the pain will fade, it will never fully go away. Deep connections cannot be cut, they just stop working like a life wire being shut off from the flowing energy that once ran between you and the other. Here you are, filled with the same emotional loading, and the wire is still there too, but there is no more response, no more reception as far as you can tell. So you cry, ask questions and endure the pain of the inevitable. Tears carry you into unknown dimensions and you realize that you must let go of everything. Every blink of the eye is a farewell, every breath is a gift that may be gone before the next is due. If you cannot let go you are a caged animal that sees freedom only through bars, and at worst you become a loser, living in fear every minute of your life. By all means, never give up to love, but never mistake love for possession. Of course, bothways you suffer the loss, but there is a huge difference what it means to your life as you pass through your grief. Giving love in expectation of something in return is tainted love. In fact, it binds you and may even appear as unconditional love but it far from it. To let go is thus the answer you seek to live and love freely because nothing and nobody can cage you, tame you, abuse and exploit you. The pain of losing something or someone you love will assisst you to create a deep and lasting memory that you can enjoy, honor and cherish, having enriched your life while it lasted. Grief is clarification, tears wash away the debris and when you re-emerge your light shines brighter than ever before. Letting new connections grow while the old contribute to your foundation, that is more than just desirable. It strengthens you on every level of your being and loss has become meaningful..
