Grief is not just a feeling or emotion, it is a lifetime of memories, experiences and relationships.
In the beginning, it can feel painful and overwhelming, like a wound that will never close, however over time, the raw edges begin to heal and the pain lessons, however the imprint remains.
The truth is, you never truly "move on.", instead we find our own unique meaningful way forward. The love you shared never disappears, It remains forever in our memories. It is okay to miss those moments in time and it is okay to feel 'all the feelings'.
Grief is not a burden to be hidden, it is the deepest proof that love existed, that someone beautiful was once in your life. Allow yourself time to mourn and to take a breath before you take those first tentative steps forward.
There is no timeline, nor no “right” way to grieve. Some days will be difficult, and some will feel slightly lighter. Some moments will bring unexpected waves of sadness, while others will fill you with gratitude for the love you were lucky enough to experience.
Remember your grief, it is a testament to the depth of your heart. In time, through the pain, you will find healing, not because you have forgotten, but because you have learned how to carry both love and loss together.
