Grief is not experienced only in death.
My friend is alive but ..... there is a part of me that wishes he wasn't.
He had a terrible motorcycle accident on Sunday.
He's 73 and rides his motorcycle A LOT!
He has over 350,000 miles on the bike (named Boomer).
This accident caused by another driver, not fault of his own. It happens. Not being seen by motorcyclists is something that is relatively common.
This accent has left him very broken and in a state that could be..... vegetative. We don't know yet.
His body is broken. Shatter pelvis, shattered wrist. Bleeding and swelling in the brain.
So I am grieving.
We used to be partners. We dated for 2 years.
We did not end our relationship badly, we just wanted different things.
We have remained friends.
I am grieving someone who is still alive.
These pics are from our many cross country road trips in 2012 and 2013.
