Loss 💚

I am 20. By 20, you would expect that I have experienced a great deal. Although I am 20, I am still learning, still experiencing.
Until yesterday, I had never experienced the loss of a loved one. Although I am 20, although I have experienced a great deal, I have experienced nothing which could prepare me for what was to come.
I am 20... at 20, is it acceptable to sob by a bed side? At 20, is it acceptable to shut everyone out?

I am 20, and for the first time, I have lost someone who is very important in my life.

Who are you, when you lose a person who has helped you to grow. A root to your tree has broken, yet you still have to live..

I am 20. I am not a writer, nor a poet. I am 20 & I am grieving, for the loss of one so dear.

Grieving is something new to me. Some say I am lucky to have got to such an age without experiencing this pain, but it doesn't make it easier to carry on each day.

This is how I'll deal with it, how I'll clear my mind. For although I am only 20, there is one thing I am certain of, that's how much I'll continue to love you 💜🌟
