All of a sudden !
When you least expect it !
One day you may be walking aimlessly around the shopping centre when you see a child with the same colour hair, with waves hitting their shoulders.
You stop and stare, but then the head turns and you realise that this child belongs to someone else's family.
And not yours.!
So many times this happens.
It does not need to be the type of hair.
It can be the height or mannerisms. The crazy dancing along a street or supermarket aisle.
How do you stop being shattered every time this happens.
As each time it hurts that little bit more as the realisation sets in.
It is grief.
Just like when a loved one dies.
Only when someone dies you know that it is final. You can see the coffin enter the ground or attend the cremation.
That moment is final.
To have grandchildren just pulled away from you is so much harder because you always wonder.
Is that her up ahead? Or maybe that is him riding the bicycle.
There is no easy answer.
Only ever lots and lots of questions.
Many moments are spent deep in thought and wondering will things ever be returned to what they were.
And many, many tears are shed
