Something to keep you going

For those of us that have lost a loved one -
Either by tragedy or separation .
It's a loss,
A tough loss.
It can break you,
for most it does.

But it's a loss that can be overcome.
Though bleak the future may seem,
Hope is just around the corner.

Look forward,
Don't lose sight of what's important.
Be a bastion of strength.
Show yourself then the world that you can move forward.

Make a statement.
Meandering in mediocracy or depression,
will only prove them right.
The person you lost,
Would want better for you.
If that person for you, was not the right one for you,
be the person you want to be with someday.

Stand up.
Don't slouch.
Look up.
Look down from a mountain top,
or look into the ocean,
realize just how small you are with the vastness of what's out there.
The world isn't ending,
feel the peace of the mountain wind,
the warm, salty kiss of the ocean wide.

Remember that you're not alone through this,
Though it might seem as such.

You are loved.
So, Find hope.
Believe in a better world.
Stand tall.

You deserve it.
