When someone dies is the love that they left behind ever truly gone? Some would say yes, while others who have felt honest and pure love, would say that true love will never leave. When we lose a loved one, it feels like we cannot go on. Like a huge piece of us is gone, the piece that defines us, helps us love and makes us feel as if they sun is always shining. If someone you love doesn’t come home on time do you worry something happened? I do. What if that person never comes back? What if they are hurt and need help? What if they do not want to come back? People ask themselves questions similar to this when waiting for the loved one. Some of us know they will never come back, others hope and pray desperately that they will. Yet for some they will do anything to keep this loved one close, whether they spread pictures around the house, plant a tree every year or keep a lock of their hair they keep them close in their heart never wishing to let them go.
Isabella never let Lorenzo go. She kept him in her heart, wanting him to stay with her forever and knowing that he would never leave. She kept his head in a pot, almost as if he were never gone. Before she found him though she wept and wished for him to come back, she became waif like simply wanting him to come home.
If you want to put yourself in their shoes the most simple way to do that is to do that is think of all the soldiers who have been sent off to any war, it does not matter which one. Pretend you are the wife at home, no children and your parents are looking for you to move on, and secretly wonder behind your back why you chose to marry him. You wait and wonder at home, at work, every time of the day. Work may become a distraction and you could become short with the people around you. Seeing people walk down the street holding hands may make your heart ache, and you loathe them because they have a life that you want for yourself. Not knowing the unknown is one thing many people fear, they want to know what happened so bad.
