THE END

Good Morning Readers:  I hope you have been keeping well.

I want to talk about the phrase, “The End”.    This can mean so many things.  The end of what?

At the movies, “THE END”, would appear at the end of a movie.  These two words, “The End”, are final;  they signify a conclusion. 

These two words are telling us that it is the end of something.  The end of a beautiful friendship,  or, much sadder, the end of a loved one’s life. 

To suffer the pain of losing a spouse is very traumatic. Family and friends try to help console the widow or widower: this isn’t always easy.  Suffering the grief of losing one’s partner, is enormous, and nothing can really help console the partner who is left behind; asking themselves “Where do I go now?”

The feelings that linked them to their loved one, have been broken.  This, very sadly, is “The End”, of a loving, caring relationship, with all its memories. Memories are all that are left behind.  These memories are vivid,  sad, and traumatic. 

They say that Time is the great healer.  What Time does, is that day by day, the memories of a loved one and the memories of the trauma that goes with the passing of a loved one, gradually move a little bit further back in the mind.  The fog lifts a little.   The trauma becomes less vivid, the feelings become less raw.   This is natural and part of the healing process. 

If you are a person who likes to write stories, or poetry, sometimes, the loss of a loved one will move you to write, or be creative in other ways.   A poem that is full of your memories,  fun, and activities you shared with your spouse, can bring you joy.   This is a good thing, because it means that you are now ready to share your story and memories of your partner, and put pen to paper, to create a poem or two from those special memories, that you alone, experienced during your life together.

So, Time does heal the sadness of losing one’s partner and with the help of friends and family, you move on and create a new world for yourself.

I would love you to read both of my poetry books.  I’m sure you will enjoy them.

Best wishes,

Anne
