Yesterday we made a trip to see the stone Leighton’s Mimi put up for him, right next to his Papa. Although ✨he✨isn’t actually here (his ashes sit in a box, on a shelf, in our home) having a physical spot to honor and remember him is surprisingly so healing.
Grief is wild. I’ve spent 8 years not doing anything because nothing could ever be good enough for him. Or, anytime I would try I would just freeze. 8 years feels like a lifetime and no time at all, at the same time.
There’s no right time for any of it. There’s no time limit in grief, just like there’s no time limit on the love you have for your children. No matter where you are in this path without your beloved, the timing is exactly right.
