It is strange how easy it is to remember pain.

Eric Lomax
About This Quote

When you are in pain, it’s easy to remember it. Whether you are experiencing a headache, a toothache or major grief, you will remember the moment when the pain occurred. However, it is difficult to remember moments of happiness. If you have ever lost someone who meant a lot to you, you may have felt the pain of the loss.

But when someone passes away, it’s difficult to remember when they were alive. People are generally too caught up in their own lives to notice that someone else is gone.
