I lost my love in Baghdad. I lost him to the war. I lost him to the violence. I lost him to the hatred.

I remember the day he died like it was yesterday. We were walking home from school, hand-in-hand. We were laughing and talking about our plans for the future. We were so happy.

Then, suddenly, there was an explosion. I don't remember much after that. I remember being thrown to the ground. I remember hearing screaming. I remember seeing blood.

When I finally came to, I was lying in a hospital bed. My parents were there, crying. They told me that my love had been killed.

I couldn't believe it. I refused to believe it. I kept thinking that he would walk through the door any minute. I kept waiting for him to call.

But he never did.

I was devastated. I didn't know how I was going to go on without him. He was my everything.

But I had to go on. I had to find a way to live without him.

It wasn't easy. There were days when I didn't want to get out of bed. There were days when I didn't want to talk to anyone. There were days when I just wanted to die.

But I had to keep going. I had to find a way to heal.

I started by talking to other people who had lost loved ones. I found comfort in their stories. I learned that I was not alone.

I also started writing. I wrote about my love. I wrote about my loss. I wrote about my pain.

Writing was therapeutic. It helped me to process my emotions. It helped me to heal.

I'm not going to lie, it's still hard. There are still days when I miss him so much that I can't breathe.

But I'm learning to live with my loss. I'm learning to find joy in life again.

I'm finding hope in the darkest of places.

I'm finding love in the most unexpected of ways.

I'm finding strength in the face of adversity.

I'm finding peace in my heart.

I'm finding hope in the future.

I'm finding love in life again.

I'm finding strength in myself.

I'm finding peace in my soul.

I'm finding hope for the future.
