Jim Carrey once said : Grief is not just an emotionโitโs an unraveling, a space where something once lived but is now gone. It carves through you, leaving a hollow ache where love once resided.
Grief is love with nowhere to go. It crashes over you like waves, unpredictable and relentless, reminding you of what once was and what will never be again. In the beginning, it feels unbearableโlike an open wound that may never heal. The silence left behind is deafening, the absence impossible to fill. But grief is not just about pain; it is proof of loveโs existence, a testament to the depth of what we once held dear.
With time, the sharp edges of sorrow begin to softenโnot because we forget, but because we learn to carry love and loss together. You do not "move on" from grief; you move forward with it, allowing it to shape you, to deepen your understanding of love, to make you more human. The love that once filled your world does not vanish; it transforms. It lingers in the echoes of laughter, in the warmth of old memories, in the quiet moments where you still reach for what is no longer there. And thatโs okay.
Grief is not a weakness. It is not something to be hidden or ashamed of. It is sacred. It is the price we pay for love, the evidence of something beautiful that touched our souls. So allow yourself to feel it. Give yourself permission to mourn, to remember, to cry, and to heal in your own time.
There is no deadline for grief. No right way to process loss. Some days will feel heavy, suffocating, impossible to bear. Other days will carry a glimmer of lightโa moment of peace, a memory that makes you smile instead of weep. Some moments will bring unexpected waves of sadness, while others will remind you how lucky you were to have loved so deeply.
Honor your grief. Let it be a bridge between the past and the present, between love and loss. And when the pain feels too great, remind yourself: healing does not mean forgetting. It means learning to hold onto love in a new way. It means carrying the ones weโve lost within us, forever a part of who we are.
And in that, they never truly leave us.
