Heartache


     When we see a loved one go through physical or emotional pain, our love and empathy for them can cause heartache.  As we witness others suffer, we also hope to witness their recovery.  As we witness death and loss, we have to find a way to go on.
     Sometimes we begin to think we could have done something to prevent their pain or start to imagine the what ifs.  This wishful thinking only delays the time we crash back to reality.
     Sometimes our loved ones will keep their own pain secret so as not to cause us heartache, but sharing sorrow can help the healing process and strengthen the relationship.
     The older we get, the more we witness the pain felt by others.  Hopefully, our accumulated experiences can help us learn to handle the pain and  increase our understanding of others and ourselves.   By helping each other through hard times, we will not have to face heartache alone.
