Grief is such an interesting thing. One moment you feel like you’re floating, almost weightless, and the next, you’re crashing beneath the surface, struggling to catch your breath.
It’s not just grieving the people you’ve lost. It’s grieving the version of yourself that existed when they were still here when they were strong enough to hold you, comfort you, and make the world feel a little safer.
Now, somehow, you’re learning to hold yourself. To carry the memories, the love, and the pieces of them that still live within you.
And then there’s the grief of everything else you’ve had to leave behind old places, old people, old relationships, old versions of yourself, old lives you thought you would have longer.
Sometimes you realize you’re not grieving just one thing.
You’re grieving an entire chapter of your life.
Just… grieving.
