A faithful life does not mean a life without grief. It more accurately looks like grief with hope. Grief and surrender. Grief and trust.

I imagine you somewhere
just ahead of me,
not gone, just out of reach.
Like you turned a corner too quickly, and I'm still catching my breath.

Some days I feel you near,
in the breeze.
Not as a sign,
not as a promise,
just a sense of you.

Life keeps asking me to move on, even when I want to stay still.
I carry your absence gently,
like something fragile and sacred.
I ask questions often,
no longer asking for answers.
Love continue its work,
even without your voice.
You've gone ahead.
Wait for me, the way you always did.
I'll walk this path the best I can,
until this distance disappears.

We love from the outside in and
mourn from the inside out.
Hopefully the people around you
invite you to do that...

Seek out the people who understand this truth. They will help you find a new comfort. πŸ€—

They say you are at peace now,
and I believe them,
I really do.
But belief doesn't soften my longing to still be with you.

Grief is like living two lives.
One is where you pretend that everything is alright.
The other is where your heart screams silently in pain.

What people think we grieve:
The person we lost.

What we are also grieving:
The moments we didn't get to have.
The memories we'll never get to make.
The life we had before everything changed.
The future we thought we would share.

You will grieve forever.
Not as a life sentence,
but as a love letter
you keep writing.

Some days are more difficult than others

Death changes everything
Time changes nothing.

I miss the sound of your voice,
the wisdom in your advice,
the stories you told.

Time changes nothing.
I miss you as much today
as I did the day you died.
