Grief is a journey of transformation, much like the delicate process of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. In the midst of loss, it can feel as though we're trapped in a cocoon of sorrow. But with time, love, and remembrance, we emerge changed, carrying the beauty of our loved ones within us. Butterflies remind us that even in grief, there is hope, renewal, and the enduring presence of those we've lost, fluttering softly in our hearts.
