Loss is a certainty and grief is an inevitability. That is a consequence of loving people deeply. But it is worth it. It is worth it to make deep connections and to love and care for your friends. It is worth it to love and allow yourself to be loved. Loss is meaningful and painful when life is full of meaning and love.

| At Eternity's Gate by Vincent Van Gogh |
On loving someone my very best… I will behest
A reprieve from her eternal rest
A lost love will forever bequeath… such bountiful grief
Its melancholy mood won’t ever be brief.
Of the grand feeling of love so sure… pain will endure
But that is proof it ever so pure
The sun will arise each bright new day… as memories decay
The pain of loss moves farther away.
But genuine love will often bestow… misery only love can
know
From there a river of tears will flow
Of life so meaningful and hallowed… the one I followed
At her deaths end I weep and wallow.
As grief is a pain from time we borrow
But still, the other side of sorrow… is tomorrow
