Don't watch any videos from the past. Was it actually real? I can't tell anymore.
Don't attend funerals. Especially when it's for an amazing person who leaves behind an equally amazing legacy. The beauty of a life well-lived is inspiring but the grief that follows in death is heartbreaking. Absolutely heartbreaking.
Don't revisit. Places. Songs. Memories. Dates on the calendar.
Don't stare into the eyes of a confused and mourning child. You do not want to see the fear and sadness that crowds out curiosity and blissful ignorance. Especially when you can do nothing to make it better.
Do not think about the future. Or what the future "should" have been.
Do not close your eyes at night, waiting for the silence and dark to quiet your mind and give you rest. Instead, that pause makes it all come rushing at you, smothering.
