Grief doesn’t just change your life.. it splits it in two. There is the life you had before they died, when everything felt so normal and good and then there is the life after, where nothing feels the same anymore.
It’s not just about missing them. It’s about learning to live with a new version of yourself, a version that you didn’t choose.
Grief changes every single little thing. It changes the way you see the world and it changes the way you love. It makes you stronger in ways you never wanted to be and softer in places you didn’t know could hurt.
It creeps into everything.. The milestones, the holidays, all of the simple little things.
You're still here, you're still living.. but it’s so different now. You move forward, but life seems so much heavier.
and grief doesn’t just go away. It grows with you.
Somehow, you learn to live alongside it.. not because you’re okay, but because you have no other choice.
