I know nothing makes the heartbreak better or easier, but this poem has long helped me through many losses by trying to make sense of it all. I hope it might do the same for some here:

Fragile Circle

"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality,
never fully understanding the necessary plan."
