đ Grief Thatâs Not Done With You Yet.
You ever feel like you're holding it together and then suddenly youâre fu***ng not?
Not because anything new happened all of a sudden. But because the grief you thought was quiet suddenly decided to scream again.
Mine did.
Sheâs loud this week.
Because I have important mom things coming up this month. Including her 2nd birthday without her. She would have been 76.
The body keeps the score and my nervous system remembers everything Iâve had to shelve.
The world doesnât leave room for long-haul grief. It gets ignored, minimized, or replaced with toxic optimism.
But hereâs the thing nobody tells you:
đ„ Grief doesnât end when people expect it to.
đ„ It ends when the body finally feels safe enough to let it go.
đ„ And sometimes, it takes a long-ass time or comes and goes in unexpected ways.
Iâm still grieving the loss of my mother. April was a year without her.
Iâm grieving the version of my life that had her with my old son for much longer. He was only 1.5 years old when she died. He won't remember her...
And I'm grieving a reality that doesn't have her in it when I needed her most.
If youâre in it too...
If your grief came back like a freight train when you had s**t to do and people to show up for, youâre not broken and youâre not too sensitive.
Youâre not falling apart.
Youâre just a human being.
And youâre healing in a world that keeps asking you to be functional instead of fu***ng free to feel and release what you need in a safe, accepting environment.
Youre not alone. â€đ€đ»đż
