To live in this world

you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it

against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.

Mary Oliver

I am in lots of pain tonight my friends, I just wish it would stop it is crippling me and I wish so much for just a bit of joy.

My dear friend, I wish I knew a way to make sorrow fade away faster.
The best I can say is to make yourself keep doing what needs doing in your life and spend time with friends.
Right now your pain feels all-consuming, as if it is all that is in your life. It's horrible but it is normal. It will ease in time but, it will do that in its own time.

Just remember that you have a friend in me (along with dozens of others, no doubt) and I will be here anytime to help in any way.

Oh Corby I'm sorry you are so sad and I know for a number of reasons.

Good advice Jean has given you, we are here for you and try and spend some time with friends or break from your normal routine and do something different, I find that helps. ♡
