All the unrecognised losses


I went on a teambuilding & New Year's party with colleagues.

One of the highlights was a visit to the beautiful seaside town of Piran. The company organised a short concert for us.

The classical music was nice. I was listening to the music when suddenly I was overcome by sadness. There was something about the artist that reminded me so much of my beloved nephew who had died. All the sadness that I thought I had left behind just came back. Just because of this perfect music in the perfect place.

On the outside - I hadn't lost anything. He wasn't even my nephew, he was my husband's nephew.

But I had lost so much. I had loved this boy since the day I met him.

It made me think of all the other unrecognised losses.

And in spite of all these losses, I want to live. And when it is hard, I just take it one day at a time.
