It is strange how things affect you, different people have different ways of coping with life and its stresses and its hearbreaks and its kicking you when you are down times. I usually think of all the people that are worse off than me, there is always someone having a harder time than you are, things are ok for me at the moment, but maybe thats because I wont let them be otherwise.
Some of my friends are hurting, for various reasons, mainly to do with love, but it is always love, the love of one for the other or a parent for a child, a child for a parent or relation, that is why people hurt, if there was no feeling for the other person there would be no pain.
Feelings are what makes us Human, pain is what helps us to accept the other is gone. Only by coming through the pain can you hope to carry on and be yourself again, it is not easy, if it were there would be no point to it. Those that have lost always feel the hurt of the loss, but tht hurt will heal you.
Eventually the pain eases the hurt becomes less, lost relations smile down and fond memories take the place of the why's, lost loves fade and new loves take their place, or old loves, one never knows in this world what will come to ease those feelings, but rest assured it will come.
And people will say, it's easy for you to say that, but it is'nt because in my dark time I never believed it would end, never saw the light at the end of the tunnel, but I learned that there is always a light, perhaps it is hidden behind a curve and you have to reach the curve to find it. I learned that there are always rainbows in the sky, even though mostly we dont see them untill it rains, but they are there, waiting to be discovered.
I learned that the true value of being a friend is waiting patiently until that friend is ready to talk, and then listening completely, with eyes as well as ears, being there no matter whether you think they are wrong or right, having the courage to voice your opinion based on the knowledge of your friend, but also having the humility to accept that you can be wrong. Having the love to accept who they are and what they are after all that is the person that you first liked and admired.
And above all being true to yourself, being you, and not trying to be what you think others want, for that is the person that you are inside, and if you dont let them out, they will wither away and you will become nothing.
And most importantly completely ignore the ramblings of a crazy woman early in the morning 
Have a great day.
