Living Well

"I find it impossible to let a friend or relative go into that country of no return. Disbelief becomes my close companion, and anger follows in its wake."
--Maya Angelou

I really like how Maya wrote this because it is so true about how it is so much harder to let your friend or relative go . When you think about your own life and how you lived it, it's not as hard to let go of it and you can accept that one day you will die . But it is so much harder for me as well to let other people go even if they were not my close friend . Even if I didn't know them . Like when you hear on the news how a child dies or a person dies it hard because you don't know if they lived their life to its fullest potential . And then after a person dies it takes time to get over the fact that they are not here with you anymore . And the way she wrote about disbelief and anger is very true for not only me but I think everyone that goes through a loss of some sort .
