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.
Seding hugs ❤️
ReplyDelete(I"m sorry I missed this at the time - I was in transit and then ill.) Your post is such a wonderful example of resilience and coping.
ReplyDeleteMusic is so emotive, isn't it? I'm so sorry this made you sad. But remembering your nephew is an act of love, and that is beautiful, in a beautiful place, with beautiful music. Also sending hugs.
