What would you do if...?

Question

there was this one thing that you knew you would lose, you didn't know if it would be tomorrow or a decade from now, but you've had it all your life, and you honestly knew that losing it would leave an empty part of you for the rest of your life? I feel that nothing can prepare me enough for when I lose it, or for life beyond that point, and that no one is giving an honest effort to prove to me that they care about me by caring about what I know I am going to lose, and that once it is gone, there will be absolutely no way to begin to replace it. This is the second time today I've cried about it, a total of more than an hour and a half today. It is a living thing, so I'm trying to make it feel as happy as possible while it is still living, but I really would rather go with it myself than have it leave me. I don't know what to do, what to think, or anything. I feel as though it shouldn't die, and that I should, because I'm not as innocent of a being as it, even though I've done nothing.

Answer 1

Make the most of the time you have left with it. Don't think about the end, focus on how much you love it now. It will hurt when it's gone but that's just a part of life. After it's been gone a while, you will realize what a positive impact it had on your life and you will be able to pull yourself back together and keep going.

Answer 2

I'm not sure what this other living thing is that you are concerned about, but if you truly love it now then the future outcome will be positive. Love is eternal

If it helps please consider this as a response to your statement: "I feel as though it shouldn't die, and that I should, because I'm not as innocent of a being as it"
Death isn't such a negative thing, it's part of the natural course of life and based on a personal NDE I had ,physical death isn't "the End"

The issue here is really about loss - you are afraid that the feelings you have when with this"living thing"will be gone , once it is no longer In a physical body. Find out how you can experience this level of feeling in other ways and with other living things and remember that life and death are one in the same. Its a thin vail that separates the two.

Answer 3

Enjoy the time you have with it like today is the last. Do whatever possible to keep it from leaving or being gone. That way when it finally does have to go you know you have done whatever you could and there is no doubt or I could haves running through your mind. Make the best of it with everything you have. Don't stop yourself from crying but don't just sit and wait for it to be gone, take control of yourself and the situation and tell it how you feel weather it's human or animal etc.. Remember everything in our lives happens for a reason that leads to something else. We can lose but never lose the lesson. Leave no room for questions on your feelings for it or doubts so that when they are gone they will know how much they or it meant to you. Just hold tight and try to breathe and keep these feelings forever in your heart. Losing the things that matter to us most is never easy, and no you don't replace them you keep them in your heart and in your mind.Im so sorry you are experiencing something so heartbreaking and wish you strenghth and peace of mind.

Answer 4

I feel your pain and can compare losing a living thing that I was close to, no one cared about it. I remember the time I had with it and even give its name as a password. Small things once in a while to remember and make me smile. I still feel the hurt from it passing if I only think about that part of it being with me. But that doesn't compare to all the good times laughing and comfort it gave me.

Answer 5

You know honey, you said a mouth ful, I know how you feel, I thought i would have my mother forever, but When she passed away, I know now that its fate that the Good Lord took her up to heaven, because she was in soo much pain and now she is not in pain anymore, Just treasure the moment that you had with this thing, And remeber this saying from momma Trudy, If you fall in love with a bird, and that bird cant fly because its wings are broken, There is only 1 vet in your area, and only 3 people left on earth, or on your island, The Bird cant help you with out any wings, He cant help himself, but oh no, the vet fixes his wings, The birds wants to fly away, ... Ask your self this question, Should i let him go, Do i love him enough to let that bird go? The answer is yes, If you love someone set it free, Because he was very unhappy here on Earth, Now you fewel better, From momma Trudy

Answer 6

First i should ask you... Does the thing or person you love loves you back? You have to pray you don't miss it in Death or loose it to another or you might be pushed to hang your self.

Make what you love love you back so you won't be the only person missing.
