The best way I can describe it… my future went black. Not just because he was gone, but because of everything he would never get to see, be, or become.
I grieved for me. I grieved for him. I grieved for our boys. I grieved for the life that should have been.
And even now… I still find myself grieving what he doesn’t get to experience.
Grief doesn’t just visit one part of you… it moves through all of you.
And healing isn’t about stopping it… it’s about allowing it to move through.
If I could put it simply, it would be this:
Allowing grief is saying,
“You can be here… but you don’t get to take everything from me.”
And you’ve already been doing this, even on the days it doesn’t feel like it. 💚
