It Takes Time

Change happens all around us every day. We get a new job, lose a loved one, move to a new house, get a new car, even a new medical diagnosis. Each time something different happens in our lives, it takes time to process. We need time to become accustomed to the change and let it sink in. For some changes, we make a quick transition with not much effort and other times change has flipped our lives upside down and it takes a long time to adjust.Humans are incredibly powerful and strong beings. Look at all that we have been through in life and somehow, we keep pushing and going. We have an amazing ability to adapt and learn ways of getting around and getting through the hard times. So much change has occurred for me lately. 

Those changes include ones here on Medium, loved ones moving away, several deaths in the family, completely reorganizing and fixing up the house, and the list goes on and on. Some of these changes are welcomed and easy to adjust to, others are harder to accept and make a part of my reality. I feel as though, especially after the loss of a loved one, that void and change in one’s life is immense. You no longer have that person in your life physically and that can change so much. Suddenly, you must carry on with life, but a certain someone and a big part of you is missing. Time helps heal, but it won’t take away the pain. Each passing day does allow us to come to terms with the loss and to adapt to the change.
