living with a void

In one of his talks, spiritual guru Shri Shri Ravi Shankar spoke of death, losing a loved one and gave the example of a woman who had lost her daughter. The woman went through pain and sorrow but then she moved on with life, she said 'i attend parties, go out, but people expect me to be sad all the time, is something wrong with me?' of course nothing was wrong with the woman but something was wrong with those who expected her to be sad all the time.
Certainly, nothing can replace the loss of a loved one but we learn to live with the void for there is a life ahead of us..
