Step one, you can't.
If you have ever managed to find yourself in the same situation as me, dear reader, I beg of you don't blame yourself. It isn't your fault.
Anything that someone could have been going through more than likely wasn't made known. When someone is really struggling to that point, they won't tell you. They don't want you to worry.
Dear reader, this is for you. Lives aren't for you to save. They are here, so we have others. How dull and boring would life have been without those people?
It is so easy to feel like you aren't a big part of someone's life when really you could've been one of the biggest parts.
This is your story. Yes, reader, if you've found yourself in this situation, there could be so much going on in your head right now. But your story isn't over. You have so much more left.
There are many people who have entered and left our lives that were so great it may have felt like we were all just the background. What if I told you that there isn't just one story in the world? That maybe one day there is the light you see to keep pushing.
Grief knows no boundaries. It also has no time limit. This is sadly something every human being will experience at least once.
Reader, if you've found yourself in the same place as me. All of the 'If only I'd have done this, and this, or this.' As much as I hate to say it. It wouldn't have made a difference.
Reader, they were struggling more than you could've known.
You have a story. This is also your life to live.
Raise chaos, have fun, be free. Do it for them. Do what they didn't live to see. Do what they did live to see. Let their light shine through you.
Reader, you're doing amazing right now. It may not mean much from a stranger, but you're doing great.
Keep pushing. Find your light.
Remember to keep your story in mind. What do you want there? Who do you want people to think of?
You play an important role in this world. Live your story.
Please do not take this the wrong way. This chapter by no means is telling you to forget these amazing people.
Remember them.
Remember the good. Remember all the amazing times you had with them.
Make more memories. Love life. Be an amazing person. Let your light shine to the ends of the earth. Let their light shine through you.
You're doing incredible.
