“…The Only One Who Knows What My Heart Sounds Like from the Inside.”

“No one can know how much I love you, because you are the only one who knows what my heart sounds like from the inside.”  (Unknown Author)

What happens when “the only one who knows what [your] heart sounds like from the inside” is no longer here to listen? Just take a moment to let that question set in. It has been my observation that rarely someone knows another intimately enough to truly know her heart. When you do meet a person such as this, the connection is a gift to be treasured. Then, when that gift is taken from you, how do you respond? The loss of anyone you love will change you, but the loss of someone who knows your innermost self can shake you to your core.

If this has been your experience, how have you been able to cope so far? Have you done something specific you have found helpful? If so, would you be willing to share a little of your experience in the comment box, so that others can benefit from what you have learned?
