The Grieving Light

Hope everyone had a blessed day ❤️

Because when you lose a child
you don’t just grieve them once.

You grieve them in pieces.

In the morning when you wake up.

In the afternoon when something reminds you of them.

In the evening when the house grows quiet.

And every night
when you realize
you survived another day without them. Grieving Parents

Grief doesn't just show up on anniversaries and holidays. It sneaks up on random Tuesday afternoons. You're fine.
You're going about your day. And then a song comes on. Or you smell something familiar. Or you pass the restaurant you used to go to. And suddenly you're crying in the grocery store parking lot wondering why it still hurts this much.
That's grief. It doesn't follow a schedule. It doesn't get smaller with time. You just get better at carrying it. Some days it's a whisper. Some days it's a scream. And both are okay.
You're not broken. You're human.
Grief is simply just love with nowhere to go. It is okay if you don't know how to hold it some days. By: Jacqueline Whitney
