Grief, revisited

Just because you see me smiling and living life, don’t think that I am not still filled with grief.

It is the heaviest thing I’ve ever carried. And people consider me strong. Grief has broken me down in ways that I thought I’d never recover from. 💔

I am continuing to live life in spite of the grief. In chosing to do so, I found someone who supports me. He understands and respects that somedays it may hit me out of the blue, but it doesn’t change my feelings for him.

I am thankful he is my friend 🧡 I am thankful for all of my friends taking this journey with me. I am blessed…even in my grief, I recognize I have a lot to be grateful for.
