Getting Used to It

I realized while driving to work today that I've gotten used to [livejournal.com profile] uncrowned_king being gone.

It wasn't a pleasant sensation.

Of course I don't want to be crying over his death for the rest of my life. . . . and it would be ridiculous and unhealthy to resist adjusting to the reality of his loss. . . but some part of me thinks it is fundamentally wrong for it to be in any way "okay" that he's gone. On some level, it feels like a betrayal -- even though I know he would not/does not feel that way.

Or maybe it's just that the pain of his loss has settled into a quiet, deep channel. It's still there on some level, but it's no longer storming and flooding.

It's a little more than a month until the anniversary of his death.

We can only ever go forward.
