The Beginning of The End
Grief comes in like waves in the ocean, at first, it was so intense as if you are swept away beyond your control, hitting you at random moments with old memory later replacing all those normal feelings with familiar tears. But as time goes on the grief lessens bit by bit though it is never forgotten, and sometimes happy memories flood in that allow waves of smiles and warmth, funny or sweet things to be said.
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed and life is back to normal, though not completely.
