Loss

My day has been filled with such heartache and sorrow, my old boss passed away last night. He was like a second father to me, a best friend. The day has been beyond comprehension.

A surgeon and a wonderful man, who gave hope and life to so many.

A day full of phone calls and notifications, doctors, nursing staff, old patients, and just when you think you are getting near the end someone says...
"Have you told so and so?"

It was like dropping a pebble in a pond and the ripples just kept getting bigger and bigger.

Numb

    No words can make you feel better right now. Losing someone you care about is a very personal feeling of loss. The only thing you can do is to focus on the time you had with that special person and feel that in your heart.
