A MEDITATION

“ Recall that nothing grieves us more than the loss of a friend close at hand.

— Seneca

The close friend you lost was closer than you notice — woven into your sense of normal. Their absence is a texture change across daily life, not a single wound. That's why it hurts long after the official grieving should have ended.
