I wrote a story about this kind of thing that Ariana Grande sings about in Still Hurting. See this site: vimeo.com/412468876

That was back in my 20s (and I had that feeling plenty before and even after...all working the heart muscle so to speak)... likely anyone has felt that kind of sadness, pain and longing whether much younger or older...or as life unfolds..the kind of pain and questions separation brings up, unexpected twists and turns in life, someone dying (that's maybe part of why we have the other challenges to warm up for the final kinds of breaks... yet even then there may be ways to 'stay connected' with a greater sense of 'what ifs' and 'yes maybe they are still in our energetic social circles..' 

That could help to think out loud about as a country and world as we are hearing ever more cases of people dying from CV19 or related or even other causes...and not having 'traditional ways' to gather and support each other, and not even visit more regularly and process a lot of things that are in transition. 

Likely we could set up phone chains, zoom and maybe even visits from a car, from afar and depending on the circumstances, closer with masks and so forth, primarily outdoors yet even in other settings... to help everyone feel they are 'in touch' (not touching per se... but even that with an extra layer may be okay...) So how does this song speak to you about your own journey or the human condition... I watched a show just before this online called LiveLongerGroup.com. 

They had a segment about how some infant girls are given away (if not harmed or killed sadly) in India..and other places in the world..so clearly there is a great deal of work to do in terms of bringing a basic sense of civility and fairness to many parts of the world.

 Maybe we 'over identify' with one person, one kind of life path...when there really are dozens of meaningful ways to live one's life (developing talents and also pitching in as team players locally and to good causes..., working and resting to stay in good health and learning about how to help more as better info is shared about what to do and how to do things...without knocking oneself out.) 

The kind of care and consideration Every relationship with family, friends, and yes, a romantic partner (past, present, or future even) deserves a lot of support..It's all rather complicated nowadays on many levels, but that means more info about the legal, social, practical, physical, financial, logistical and other aspects should be spelled out and given a lot of support from existing faith, civil and local groups if not online... Free Help would be a good start and worthwhile endeavor to promote. Thanks in advance and see more ideas on Livfully.org
