Thank you Amelia for sharing with us. I feel it is a point in our lives when we realize that nobody can ever fill that empty hole we were unfortunately left with. It is incredibly painful to accept that. Afterwards comes the grief of the love and care we craved and we needed but we will never get.
When we go through this process we can learn to enjoy the type of love and closeness and care we can actually receive from people as adults and not the idea of intense permanent unconditional love we wanted before. We just became more realistic but the emptiness will remain for ever… or will it not??
