Here is today's thought to encourage you on your grief journey...

It catches me off guard every time.
I want to say, “You know what happened, right? You know they died?”
I want to ask if they forgot, or if they really think I could ever be ok again. It feels bizarre to be asked something so ordinary when my whole life has been turned upside down. How do you answer a question like that when the person you were died too?
I know most people mean well. They don’t know what else to say. But that question feels impossible. I don’t even know how I am. Some days I’m numb, some days I’m angry, some days I can barely stand being in my own skin. Most days, I’m just surviving.
So I say I’m ok, because it’s easier than explaining that I’m not. Easier than watching their faces fall or hearing them change the subject. I save the truth for the quiet moments, when no one’s waiting for a polite response, when I can actually admit to myself that I’m still wrecked.
If you’ve forgotten how to answer that question too, you’re not strange or broken. It should be obvious that you’re not ok, but somehow the world forgets. You don’t have to have an answer for them. Just keep breathing, keep surviving. That’s enough.

Here is today's thought to encourage you on your grief journey...

Each dawn begins, yet feels the same, 🌫
Your absence whispers through my name.
I reach for you through morning’s haze,
But find you lost in memory’s maze. 💔

The air still hums your quiet tone,
Though I stand trembling, all alone.
The world moves on — I stand behind,
A prisoner of heart and mind. 🕊

Deep within, where love still grows,
A secret ache forever flows.
No hour passes without your song,
No night feels right since you’ve been gone. 🌙

Your laughter echoes in the rain,
Your smile still softens all my pain.
You live in stars, in skies of gray,
In every breath, you’re here — you stay. ✨

I carry love that cannot fade,
Through time and tears, through light and shade. 🌹
Each heartbeat whispers what I pray —
“I miss you more with every day.” 💞

— Miss You Forever
