Twenty-5

I’ve never experienced a close death. And now that I have, I’m not sure what to do. I’m trying to pick myself up and be optimistic but I keep thinking about him, his life, and his importance in mine. I feel as though I’ve grieved enough but I guess I haven’t. I’m trying to pick up where I left off, but ever since he died, I’m kind of at a stand-still. I know this won’t be forever, but I need to get past this stage so I can live again. Right now, I feel weighed down. And I don’t want to talk to anyone about him or it because I’ll feel like a broken record and some people don’t know how to react when you talk to them about losing someone. Then the situation becomes awkward and I would’ve wished I’d kept quiet.
