Grief isn’t just sadness.
It’s snapping at someone who didn’t deserve it.
It’s ignoring the phone because you can’t fake small talk.
It’s not crying when you “should” and crying when you least expect it.

It’s slamming cabinet doors.
Scrolling past people who still have what you lost.
Losing your patience over a coffee order, a traffic light, a commercial that dares to show a happy family.

It’s lying.
Saying “I’m fine” when you’re actually falling apart.
Waking up angry at the world and going to bed ashamed of how you treated it.

It’s guilt.
For smiling.
For not smiling.
For being here.

It’s the version of you that’s hard to recognize.
Harder to love.
And even harder to explain.

But here’s the thing no one tells you—
Grief doesn’t care about your manners.
It doesn’t care how strong you used to be.
It doesn’t wait until you’re alone to show up.

It crashes in.
Ugly.
Mean.
Messy.
Real.

And if that’s where you are right now?
You're not doing it wrong.
You're just missing someone so deeply, your whole body is screaming it.

Let it scream.
