It is that pull in your chest that aches, the sudden urge to get back to the place where you once felt steady. And then you remember that place is gone, because they were the one who made you feel rooted. They were the one who made the world make sense.
You can stand in your own kitchen and still feel lost. You can sit on your own couch and feel completely out of place. The walls are the same, the rooms are the same, but the center is missing. The person who used to BE the center of your world is not here, and everything feels strange and off balance.
That longing never fully disappears. You learn new routines, you move through your days, you try to keep going, but part of you is still reaching for the person who felt like home. It is quiet and constant, and other people rarely understand how strong it can be.
And if you are feeling this today, remember that they are still here, just not in the way you want. Home is not gone. It has simply changed shape. When you think of them, when you let yourself remember their love and how they live in your heart, you can still go home in the way that matters. You just close your eyes, think of them, and let the love fill you up.

You don’t have to explain your grief to anyone.
Some days it’s a single snowflake…
other days it’s a full blizzard. ❄️

However it shows up, it’s valid.
Be gentle with yourself while it melts,
and when it comes back again. 💭🤍
