It hurts when they're gone. And it doesn't matter if it's slow or fast, whether it's a long drawn-out disease or an unexpected accident. When they're gone the world turns upside down and you're left holding on, trying not to fall off.

Walter Mosley
About This Quote

When you lose someone you love you feel like your world is upside down and there is nothing that can take the pain away. You try not to fall over. You try to continue living your life and moving on but it always hurts. Even when friends and family support you and try to help, it still hurts. It's hard to understand the loss and how you think and feel when there is no one to talk to about their death.
