LOSS…

So I lost my Best friend on the 23rd of May 2024 the person I did everything with, grew up with. The emptiness and lonliness is unbearable!!

My lifelong friend. We had the same taste in everything. She was the serious one, me the silly one.

We always said we were born in the wrong era and country. Our taste, our ways and interests not for South Africa or this era. We always used to have a good laugh about that.

Now I have no-one to share all that with. How do I go forward without her, without our shared interests and ways?

We were together most days, when we weren’t we always chatted on whats app. Not a day went by without us chatting.

Yes, I have my husband, son and Dad so I know I am not totally alone but, there are times I need a friend, a confidant. She was my everything in terms of friendship, we were closer than any sisters I know. Closer than I am to my sister. Sisters not in blood but,heart and soul.

How do you move forward? How do you deal with the loss and hurt?

The Never ending loneliness even when there are people around.

Always an emptiness.
