I was completely oblivous to your suffering. I never saw the sadness in your false smiles. I never guessed how alone you must have felt. I'm sorry. I can only hope your in a better place now.
In some ways I know what it's like, in others I can only imagine. I remember talking everyone's eyes off when Sarah died last September. Not the same situation, no, but some things are similar: the sense of loss, the abruptness, the hole where someone loved once was.
I wish I could say it gets better with time. I guess in some ways it does: the present intrudes, paints layers of Now over one's consciousness. I can say that each day is different, and life keeps inexorably marching on. Life is a strange and vigorous animal. It loses so many gems, such beautiful facets of itself, yet still it grows. It thrives and evolves. Even when our hearts are rent with anguish, it lumbers onward, reaching for the light.
If you ever need an ear, or just someone to run you through something in game for a distraction (promise I won't let important npcs disappear next time... :P), I'm willing to help out in whatever way I can.
