Undoubtedly it is not easy, even in all cases the goodbyes always leave us an emptiness and that feeling that we are to blame for something even if it is not so. That destroys your soul for sure, and that is why I say that an important step is to assume that pain, experience it and heal. I wrote this post because of the death of a friend, a wonderful person full of light, one of those people who you never see upset no matter how hard things happen to him, I did not have the opportunity to say goodbye even I was not even in the city when he died of a fulminant heart attack, I had no way to get there and it did not make sense to do it now. The most painful part of it all is that before I left on my trip we had arranged to meet but I had so many things to do that I cancelled our meeting. Today it is no longer worth regretting or reproaching myself, but it is undoubtedly an experience that teaches you. Thank you for sharing.
