"When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are.

It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me.

It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.

For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost."

Grief is proof..

That you can feel your own heart breaking.

Grief is terrifying…

Because it’s impossible to fix the cause of all this pain.

Grief is lonely…

Even in a crowd of people. Because the only one you want to talk to is the one you can’t reach.

Grief is quiet..

When you try to connect with the one who is gone.. and your questions are met with silence.

Grief is exhausting…

Constantly fighting against the current of reality and just wanting to wake up from this nightmare.

Grief is heavy…

Trudging along in these new unrecognizable days in a world now unfamiliar to you.

Grief is a measure..

Of the emptiness…

Of the pain…

Of the love you are still carrying for them.

And will forever.
