Leaving forever

People keep saying they cannot imagine how we feel. Well, imagine you
are walking away, leaving your kid behind. They are yelling and
pleading for you to come back. You cannot turn around. You will never
see them again. You hear the echoes of their cries as you get further
and further away. It tears you up, but there is nothing you can do.
And they keep getting further away, until you cannot hear them
anymore. That is one aspect of grief, of missing your child so much,
and time moving forward no matter how much you want to stop it.
