Some anniversaries are felt more than they are counted.
29 years ago today, you left and so did the words we never spoke.
Grief lives in us in different ways.
Sometimes it’s quiet.
Sometimes it’s loud.
At times it feels like numbness, and at others, like a tornado.
Grief can be mentally and emotionally exhausting, especially when the mind struggles to find stillness.
There are moments when it feels unfair that life continues, when in that instant, time stopped for you.
Time moves forward, but grief doesn’t follow clocks or calendars.
There is no timeline for grief , only a gentle acceptance that comes with time.
The heart aches for reasons only we can understand, because grief is as unique as the love and relationship we shared.
If you find yourself grieving, give yourself permission to feel whatever you need to feel.
Don’t rush to heal.
Allow your body the time it needs to rest.
The what ifs will come… and in time, we learn to let them go.
We never let go of the love or the memories
we simply let go of being stuck in grief.
Love never leaves; it just learns how to live alongside the ache.
