Your darkest grief will pass

"the sun will set"

You lost a loved one.

Your heart is deeply broken.

You've never felt this way before.

You feel like you've reached the end of the road.

You wish it was possible to wake them up. 

You still have a lot of questions to ask them.

You have a lot in mind to discuss with them.

You wish this wasn't true.

You wish this was a dream.

You're depressed and furious.

Your grief will subside.

Like how waves calm down.

Your darkest grief will pass.

Your heart will calm down.

The sun will set.

You will start another day.

Getting acclimated to their absence.

You will heal, and the grief will vanish. 

Your life will carry on. 

You'll get used to not seeing them anymore.

Their journey ended in this world.

Yours, too, will end.

Your loved ones will cry.

Your loved ones will feel the same way you do now.

Life will still go on.

It will be as if you never existed!
