Losing someone is never easy, regardless of whether they're a family member, a friend, a partner, a teammate, a pet, someone who made a difference in your life, or vice versa. Sometimes they leave to be up with the stars, and sometimes they just leave your life in other ways - and whatever way they leave, whether intentional or unintentional; mutual or unrequited; gradual or sudden; unexpected or expected; acknowledged or implicit; with or without closure - you may still feel it. 

But they still shine, whether on Earth or with the stars.⠀
