The sun will come out!

As the song says; “The sun will come out tomorrow” and that is true. Even from the deepest of grieving there is hope for the future. Initially it seems like nothing can ever bring happiness back but over time, sometimes a long time, a shift will occur and the grief will begin to turn into happy remembrances and memories of the loved one. I don’ think you ever “get over” a loss but it will eventually start to fade into the background while the happier memories will take precedence. This process is individual. For some it may take months, for others years. This is not a contest to see who “heals” fastest and other people’s expectations have no place here. Just know that it will get easier with time. Keep that hope in your heart.  “The sun will come out tomorrow”.
