How do you grieve someone who is still alive?
Evarinaina chala mad ga love chesi, vallatho whole life imagine cheskuni, oka roju vallaki complete ga dooram avvalsosthe… how do you even grieve that person?
Especially when they’re still alive. Still somewhere in this world. Just no longer a part of your life.
And the hardest part is, they treated you badly. You know you deserved better. You know leaving was probably the right thing to do.
But you still miss them and hate how they treated you.
You miss who you thought they were. You miss the memories, the conversations, the little things. You miss the future you imagined with them.
Maybe that’s what makes it so painful.. there’s no funeral, no final goodbye. Just a person who is alive, but a relationship that is dead.
How do you finally grieve that?
How do you accept that someone you loved with your whole heart is now someone you have to learn to live without?
