But when I stop moving and rest my head on the pillow, thoughts of Erica enter my mind. Last night I was picturing the last time I saw her. What she was wearing, the smile on her face, and where we were. Naturally I start to cry.
Each week a little healing occurs. But each night continues to be a struggle. It's been said that time is a great healer. I don't believe we are truly ever "healed" from a loss of a loved one. I believe we may come to terms with it, accept it, and have faith that everything will be okay. But some hurt will still be there.
As each night passes I will grow a little stronger. When the sun rises I will be grateful for what the day will bring. Each of us are blessed we had Erica in our lives. If only for a little while.
