Grief is not a disorder, a disease, or a sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity, the price you pay for love. The only cure for grief is to grieve. 💙

There is still hope for the future!

If these are your sons, you're doing something right.
They were riding through the parking lot, and saw a cart full of pop in this man's cart. They dropped their bikes, and asked if they could help him. They loaded his car, talked to him for a few minutes then rode away.
A couple of good kids here, be proud.

Everyone's grief is different and the biggest misconception is that, over time, we will "get over" our grief. People do not "get over" grief... They get THROUGH it. Over time you will grow and adjust to your new "normal" without your loved one physically with you. Another misconception is that there is a time limit on your grief. There is no rule that says how long your grieving period should be, and this is not a one size fits all scenario. Each experience is personal. If you know someone that is grieving the loss of a loved one, please understand that you will not experience your grief the same and it is best not to rush this process. 💙
