More Painful to Experience Janet Kuypers, 09/06/06 #1 people will think it will get easier you know, time heals all wounds or some nonsense like that I don’t know, maybe you’ll cry less but I think the pain is still there and you’ll never be able to shake it but it’s been eight years since the last time I encountered and unjust death like this and you’re right, I cry less now from that first death but it’s still extremely wrong that it happened and it’s still extremely painful no matter how I appear to react now I never saw the first death in his coffin but this time I saw the death, the coffin and I’m trying to figure out which is more painful to experience it doesn’t matter if it’s eight years ago or now Copyright Janet Kuypers.
