Healer

Many human beings, man and woman, never know how to deal with it. Loss. The ultimate trauma. May it be friends that drift apart or family members that part, love or companionship that dwindles and dies, loss can cut deep in one's soul.

After the initial shock, he puts on a brave face. She stops talking. She goes away. He hurts in total silence or almost. She sleeps on it or tries to.

Words transformed into blades, coldness settles in, the damage can be destructive.

Time is the Healer, but memories of laughter, feelings of complicity, reminders of good times will remain, even if the pictures fade slightly.

Time, the Healer.

Life goes on. Life goes on.
