Grief.

Grief is nuts.

It just is.

Grief makes us act irrationally and also makes us act our truest self.

All in the same moment.

It reminds us we are alive.

That we have feelings.

And sometimes those feelings aren't rational, or normal.

But THAT'S OK.

GRIEF is a cycle.

Sometimes that cycle makes sense.

Other times not at all.

Living with grief is like living with a person you are not so sure of.

Sometimes you are ok with it.

Other days you can't make it work.

You try, but this new roommate is unbearable and it shows.

The anger.

The hurt.

The love that goes missing.

Loss.

It changes you.

Loving and losing, inevitably changes a person.

And it should.

In whatever way that means.

But don't let yourself feel defeated in this up and down.

We are humans.

We live.

We die.

We feel.

We love.

We hurt.

And it is ALL OK.

Until someone walks in your shoes, don't worry about the gavels, and the judgement, you just do you.

And know it is ok.

Xoxo,
