Just Say It Now

It's hard when you lose someone, whether it be sudden or slow.  The time frame doesn't make it easier in any sense.  I've dealt with loss.  Both suddenly and slowly.  Neither is easy. After a loss, people always are quick to talk about how wonderful the person who passed was.  This is much more evident in Social Media.  I witnessed, recently, the wonderful postings about a high school classmate who had suddenly passed away.  It was truly evident that she was an amazing person who touched many lives, but it made me wonder.  Did she know this?  Did people tell her those wonderful things to her face while she was alive? 

I'm not so sure.  That is why I am starting this movement  #justsayitnow   Tell someone  how you feel today.  It could be family, friends or coworkers. Everyone needs to know how valued they are.  JUST SAY IT NOW!  Because you never know when they won't be there to tell them in person.
