Nay's blog : The hard goodbyes




*This post is very emotional, personal, and it talks about sudden loss.  

June used to be my favorite month. It's my birthday, it's the start of summer, fun and hopes, and of course it used to be the end of school. So it's easy to say that not only I enjoyed June, but just the though of that month made me feel hopeful and happy. 

That was until this year's June. 

Day one: A good friend miscarried and had to undergo an operation to remove some of her reproductive system. Second day: A car crash. And a person that was close to me,  my family, and part of many core memories I had, ceases to exist. Losing someone suddenly is a life-altering experience that can leave you reeling, numb, and searching for answers. It's like being hit by a tidal wave, it leaves you feeling helpless and adrift. 

One day they are there, as part of your everyday life. And then suddenly your reality has to adapt to the absence. The suddenness of the loss can be overwhelming, making it difficult to process and come to terms with the situation.

Saying goodbye to someone who died suddenly can be incredibly difficult. You may feel like you didn't get the chance to properly say goodbye or process your emotions. The suddenness of the loss can make it hard to come to terms with the fact that they're really gone. But one thing's for sure. Losing someone suddenly is a reminder that love is precious and fleeting. It's a reminder to cherish the time we have with our loved ones and to never take them for granted.

*To Petros and to the baby I never met. May you both RIP...
