I've finally pulled through my autumn and winter long depression, but carrying onwards is not going to be easy. As the pain grief, heartache, and depression brings does not heal entirely. It's an emptiness you have to live with for the rest of your days. And I am no exception to this natural rule.

Heck, I just recently had another episode of depression and pulled through yet again!

Just as Uncle Iroh never truly got over the loss of his own son. I too will never truly get over the shock of what happened, the pain is just not up in my face as much as it was. I'm just learning how to live along side the pain. That's what grief is in the end.

I'll find a way to see it through. Somehow. Somehow I always do.
