The Departure File

Spend more time making memories 😉

You don’t just lose someone once.

You lose them when you close your eyes each night.
And as you open them each morning.

You lose them throughout the day.
An unused coffee cup.
An empty chair.
A pair of boots no longer there.

You lose them as the sun sets.
And darkness closes in.

You lose them as you wonder why.
Staring at a star lit sky.

You lose them on the big days.
Anniversaries.
Birthdays.
Graduations.
Holidays.
Weddings.

And the regular days too.

You lose them in the ordinary.
Paperwork.
Household chores.
Routines taken for granted.

You lose them in the familiar.
A song they used to sing.
The scent of their cologne.
A slice of their favourite pie.

You lose them in conversations you will never have.
And all the words unsaid.

You lose them in all the places they’ve been.
And all the places they longed to go.

You lose them in what could have been.
And all the dreams you shared.

You lose them as you pick up the broken pieces.
And begin your life anew.

You lose them when you realize.
This is your new reality.

They are never coming back.

No matter how much
You miss them or
Need them.

No matter how hard you pray.

They are gone.
And you must go on.

Alone.

You lose them as the seasons change.
The snow blows.
The flowers blossom.
The grass grows.
The leaves fall.

You lose them again and again.

Day after day.
Month after month.
Year after year.

Time marches on, carrying them further and further way.

You lose them as your hair whitens and your body bends with age.

Your memory fades.
And the details begin to blur.

Their face stares back at you from a faded photograph.
Someone you used to know.

You think you might have loved them once.
Long ago.

Back then.
When you were whole.

You don’t just lose someone once.

You lose them every day.

Over and over again.

For the rest of your life.

When we lose someone we love, we must learn not to live without them but to live with the love they left behind - Anon

Have you done it yet? What you ask? Your will.... If not here is a great article FYI

While you may be tempted to go the DIY route because your affairs are what you consider ‘simple’, think twice before putting pen to paper.
