My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

The pain. There's no way around it or easy way out. There's no painless way out of these situations, especially by those who were left behind. We can't get through it quicker either. It's a process (healing). Sometimes it's day by day, sometimes it's minute by minute. In order to recover, we gotta see it through. There aren't any shortcuts. But, we're gonna heal and we're gonna be able to look forward to the future with hope. It doesn't feel like it now, but it'll come about.

I'm sorry you feel so much pain and despair. Trust me, you are not alone.
