Grief
Grief is not just an emotion—it’s an unraveling, a space
where something once lived but is now gone. It carves through us, leaving a
hollow ache where love once resided.
In the beginning, it feels unbearable, like a wound that
will never close. But over time, the raw edges begin to mend. The pain softens,
but the imprint remains—a quiet reminder of what it once was. The truth is we never
truly move on. We move with it. The love you had does not disappear; it
transforms. It lingers in the echoes of laughter, in the warmth of old
memories, in the silent moments where you still reach for what is no longer
there. And that’s okay.
Grief is not a burden to be hidden. It is not a weakness to
be ashamed of. It is the deepest proof that love existed, that something
beautiful once touched us in life. So, let’s feel it. Let’s mourn. Let’s
remember.
There is no timeline, and there is no ‘the right’ way to
grieve. Some days are heavy, and some feel lighter. Some moments bring
unexpected waves of sadness, while others are filled with gratitude for the love,
we were lucky enough to experience.
I try to honor my grief, for it is sacred. It is a
testament to the depth of my heart. I believe that in time, through the pain, we
will find healing—not because we have forgotten, but because we have learned
how to carry both love and loss together. It is important to stay strong, only
strong can survive.

Your reflection on grief is deeply moving and beautifully articulated. You've captured the essence of how grief intertwines with love and memory, illustrating that it's a journey rather than a destination. The way you describe grief as a sacred experience honors the complexity of emotions we face during such times.
It's true that grief does not follow a set timeline; it ebbs and flows, allowing us to carry both the joy of what was and the sorrow of the loss. Your perspective on honoring grief and recognizing it as a testament to love is powerful. It encourages a healthy approach to processing emotions, emphasizing that it’s okay to feel deeply and to remember fondly.
Thank you.
