JUST WAITING FOR THEM TO RETURN BY FIONA CUMMINGS


How does anyone get over the loss of a loved one? I know there are different levels of love for example a Son could love their parents much more than a daughter. But imagine if you love someone 100% you worship them live for them and suddenly they go. Out of your life. They haven’t died, they are still there out there, somewhere, only you just don’t know where they are, who they’re with and what they are doing!

 

One day the door may knock the bell might ring your heart skips a beat, but wait, that person has a key, so surely even after all this time, they would just walk in? Possibly not, this could be them, you can’t breathe are you excited or terrified. What if it’s the Police with news you have ran through in your mind so many times but recoil at the thought of the outcome.

 

It’s not the police, with trembling hands a look on your face as if you have seen a ghost and it’s your neighbour wondering if you could take in a parcel.

 

How could someone you love so much and gave your life for do this to you? How on earth do you even get up in the mornings? I’m sure you can’t sleep at nights. If you do, it’s never a proper sleep just in case the phone rings or the door announces there’s someone there.

 

You are exhausted. Your whole life is torture and you really don’t feel like you have deserved this.

 

No one understands just how you feel. Your stomach is roar with pain ulcers created by stress. But you have hope, that’s all you have to hang onto.

 

One day just perhaps that person will walk back into your life and explain just where they have been mentally and physically. They will sit next to you; their pain will show on their face and their body will be one of a very lost soul. But they will be home now. All will be Okay and healing shall begin.
