Grief impacts us all. None of us get out of life without experiencing loss.
Some of us sooner than others, & when it hits 🌊 it can feel like a tsunami. Like being swept under a tidal wave, we drown in shock, sadness, loneliness, despair, and depression to name just a few of the emotions that fall under the title of GRIEF. When someone we love dies, we never stop grieving, but rather learn to swim in the waves of it 💙 where their physical presence is no more.
1 in 12 children will lose a parent to death prior to their graduating high school. This statistic does not include the loss of a sibling, grandparent, or a friend. Be Kind. 🩷
Everyone at some point is drowning in loss 💙 Be a liferaft to others, just like Will was to his friend ❤️ I can attest from personal experience, the waves of grief are easier to navigate or at least tread in when we’re supported by the presence of others’ love 💕 Sometimes it’s as simple as bearing witness in silence 🩷
