Have you ever lost someone special in your life?  Have you ever felt pain so sharp inside of you that you almost cannot function?  You want to function.  You tell yourself over and over to get up and keep moving, but it is hard, because all you really want to do is crawl up into a ball and die so the pain will go away.  You spend hours going over memories in your mind.

Everyone tells you that it will get better and soon you will forget the pain and move on, but what if thats not what you want?  What if a big part of the reason the person is gone is because of you and you were too wrapped up in your own issues to realize how much pain you were causing.  Your stuck wishing you could take it all back and fix everything.  How do you make someone realize that you truly are sorry and are ready for change?

Have you ever lost someone special in your life?  How long did it take you to realize it was not a dream?
