"This [second] year has been more difficult; in a way, my mind is still adjusting to the new reality as she is as alive now as she was before. And time doesn't exist, even though more than a year has gone by. My memories of her, especially the last time I saw her, are in my mind as if that happened not long ago, as fresh as it happened a few days ago. It is strange that time doesn't exist in the same way when thinking of our loved ones who transition to a different realm."
The above is a quote by one of my clients who tragically lost his daughter in December 2022. In it, he eloquently describes time's translucence after losing a child. 🩵 Thank you, J.R., for allowing me to share it.
