Have a Blessed day!

Broken Open

I don’t know you….and you don’t know me…but we have one thing in common…Grief.

This commonality that we share is very intense, very personal, and very complicated.

People will tell you that you won’t feel the way you do forever. This may be annoying because all you probably really care about is how you feel in this very moment. But it’s true, and when pain, discomfort, and loneliness are strong and heavy, it really is a relief to remember that it will end.

I can tell you that you can make it through….it will get easier.

I promise!

Even though it feels like it….you’re not alone.

Though it’s super hard to do in the midst of the emotional pain of loss and loneliness, try to be thankful for the person you’re missing. It may be hard to believe now, but good things will come from this painful change.

Here’s the thing….my heart overflows with compassion for you as you walk the long journey to healing. I know you feel lost, as you make your way through each second of this life without the one you love.

I know you wonder…”When will this awfulness stop?”….”When can I go home again?”

Your mind will continuously loop through your last moments with the one you love and lost…endlessly replaying what they said and what you said.

You’re not broken….only broken open.

This is grief. It’s a journey that will challenge you. You’ll learn you’re stronger than you ever could have imagined.

Just facing today is courageous of you. Be proud of that!

Whether you’ve lived 24 hours or 24 years with your loss, it takes great courage to go on after a major loss. It’s an intense and deeply individual experience.

There’s no right way to grieve….only your way.

You may be broken open…but I believe in you….and that you can thrive after you survive.

I don’t know you…and you don’t know me…but we share this thing called ‘Grief’, and I’m willing to take the next step with you…..because we’re all just walking each other home.
