How do you deal with missing those who are gone?

How do you connect with people who were very important to you in life, but who are no longer with us?
Exactly today, 8/27/2021, a great friend that I had the opportunity to live with since childhood until I was 23 years old, would have turned 30 years old, had he not died in a motorcycle accident almost 5 years ago. Since the day of Juan's death, I had never been to the cemetery in the company of anyone. Whenever I felt like sharing something or asking my old friend for advice, I went alone. However, today I had a different experience and I would like to share.
On this date, in the company of a mutual friend we had, I went to the cemetery to visit him. There, beside where he had been buried for the first time, I didn't feel like crying. As much as in that place the longing tightens my chest, for the first time I didn't feel the need to shed tears to calm my heart. As we approached the place he was buried, we had a short one-on-one prayer and simply sat on the grass and started talking about life as if we were at a bar table. The conversation went so naturally that at one point, when I looked at the floor and saw Juan's name on the tombstone, it seemed that he was participating in the conversation. I felt like he was sitting next to us and that gave me a very nice feeling. It was something I never felt before, going to the cemetery alone.
I am a man who likes to watch anime, besides being a pleasant entertainment for me, I believe that many of them bring messages of enormous value. In one of the animes I've watched, I can't remember which one now, I recorded a message that has a strong connection with my belief. "People only die when they are forgotten." So, in my interpretation, there are people who, even if they are alive, are already dead to you. Likewise, there are people who have not been with us for many years but who will never actually die.
Thanks for reading my post!

Como você se liga às pessoas que foram muito importantes pra você em vida, mas que já não estão mais entre nós?
Exatamente hoje, dia 27/08/2021, um grande amigo que eu tive a oportunidade de conviver desde a infância até meus 23 anos de idade, completaria seus 30 anos, caso não tivesse falecido em um acidente de motocicleta há quase 5 anos. Desde o dia do falecimento do Juan, eu nunca havia ido ao cemitério na companhia de alguém. Sempre que me dava vontade de contar algo ou pedir conselhos ao meu velho amigo, eu ia sozinho. Porém, hoje eu tive uma experiência diferente e gostaria de compartilhar.
Nesta data, na companhia de um amigo em comum que nós tínhamos, fui ao cemitério para visitá-lo. Lá, ao lado de onde ele havia sido enterrado, pela primeira vez, eu não senti vontade de chorar. Por mais que naquele local a saudade aperte o peito, pela primeira vez eu não senti a necessidade de derramar lágrimas para acalmar meu coração. Ao nos aproximarmos do lugar que ele foi enterrado, fizemos uma breve oração individual e simplesmente nos assentamos na grama e começamos a conversar sobre a vida, como se estivéssemos em uma mesa de bar. A conversa correu de forma tão natural que em dado momento, ao olhar para o chão e ver o nome do Juan na lápide, pareceu que ele estava participando da conversa. Senti como se ele estivesse sentado ao nosso lado e aquilo me transmitiu um sentimento muito agradável. Foi algo que eu nunca senti antes, indo sozinho ao cemitério.
Sou um homem que gosta de assistir animes, além de ser um entretenimento agradável para mim, acredito que muitos deles trazem mensagens de enorme valor. Em um dos animes que já assisti, não me recordo qual agora, gravei uma mensagem que tem uma forte ligação com a minha crença. “As pessoas só morrem quando são esquecidas”. Assim sendo, na minha interpretação, há pessoas que ainda que estejam vivas, já estão mortas para você. Da mesma forma, existem pessoas que já não estão entre nós há muitos anos, mas que nunca morrerão de fato.
