The End of A Heartache

Growing up, we've all experienced loss in some capacity. Every one has lost someone dear to them and every one has a different way to cope with that loss. You may spend the following weeks as a hermit, not wanting to be bothered. Others may spend their time working out constantly or over indulging at the dinner table. The coping varies greatly between people but there is one thing that stays consistent between every living person. There is no end to the heartache.

We convince ourselves that we moved on and that we can now finally get back to our normal lives, but that's not the truth. The truth is, regardless if our heartache is due to the death of a loved one or maybe the end of a lengthy relationship, it's not the end. That heartache remains with us permanently, always at the back of our mind clawing itself forward.

The only true end of a heartache is the sweet, dark and tender kiss of an ever approaching death. This definite end of our heartache ultimately sparks a new heartache with someone else. It's a paradox that will continue long after we're gone and therefore the end of a heartache is both a relief and a haunting thought to bare.
