Loss.

It is something everyone will deal with in their life at some point if they haven't yet.

When that time of the year comes around, more known as the day that marks another year the one you love is gone is a time no one wants to deal with. The sad thing is that we have to deal with it.

You aren't only reminded about it because of the impact they had on you so personally, but from the posts on social media, the gatherings to remember and other friends texting you things such as "stay strong today." "I'm thinking about you", "let me know if you need anything."

It isn't just the exact day they left that makes the hole in your heart feel like it is getting bigger, but the time around the date. You remember the exact date you were last with them, the last texting conversation you had with them and every little random thing that you wouldn't think you'd even remember.

Year, after year goes by, adding to the amount of time it has been since you last were able to see them. Nothing gets easier by any means, and that is something that kills. You often hear people telling you it will get easier or your heart will heal. However, it is often hard to believe people when they tell you it gets easier, only when every year gets harder and hurts more and more.

When you love someone who has passed, you know they wouldn't want you grieving and being sad about the day they left. They would want you to try to go along with your day as best as you can, as strong as you can. Mostly, they would want you to keep your head held high as hard as it may be because they know you can do it.

They would want you to remember the good, the happiness, the love, and all the little things especially when that time of the year comes around because they will be there for you helping you get through the time in ways that aren't imaginable.
