๐ฟ Grief Doesnโt ShrinkโWe Grow Around It
I didnโt understand this until I had no choice but to live it.
When you lose a child, time doesnโt heal. People say it does, but they donโt know. The grief doesnโt get smaller. It doesnโt fade. It becomes a part of youโwoven into your breath, your mornings, your quiet moments at night.
What can changeโฆ is the life you build around it.
A life where you laugh againโand feel guilty for it.
A life where their memory is stitched into everythingโyour strength, your love, your pain.
A life where youโre still their mother, even if the world canโt see it.
To every mom carrying an invisible weight:
You donโt need to get over it. You just need space to breathe around it.
You are not broken. You are not alone.
๐ I see you.
๐ Your love is eternal.
๐ And your grief is real, valid, and sacred.
Let life grow around itโwith compassion.
