The last few weeks has felt very heavy.
I have had two family bereavements in the last month and this week it’s their funerals. A much needed moment of closure yet unbelievable sadness that I will never talk or seem them again.
The smallest, most ordinary things have felt harder than usual. I’ve had to remind myself again and again that it’s ok to not be ok- a saying we hear often but so very true.
Grief has a way of slowing everything down. It makes simple things feel overwhelming and asks us to sit with feelings we might rather avoid.
So, I’m choosing to be gentle with myself — to take things one step at a time, to rest when I need to, and to allow the emotions to come and go as they need to.
I’m also deeply grateful for the love and support around me this week and the past month, for the moments of kindness that reminded me I’m not alone.
If you’re walking through something similar, I hope you know this too: you don’t have to have it all together. You don’t have to keep up with “normal life.”
Sometimes just being is enough. 💛
