Grief is a deep sorrow when there has been a loss.

Grief is sadness, stillness, contemplative, frustrating, nervous, wondering, AND sometimes, warm, reflective and joyful.

Grief takes many forms beyond emotional…
It’s physical, mental, spiritual, relational.

Grief oscillates between foreground and background, intensity and a dull ache.

Grief can be memories AND developing a new relationship with that person or thing that has been lost.

Grief can surprise you at the seemingly most random places. Grief can also provide comfort.

Grief is learning to carry our losses in a meaningful and useful way, whatever that means for you.

Grief is a complex struggle, adjustment AND personal growth.

Grief IS NOT moving on, getting over, or forgetting. Oh, my friend. Honor that connection, love or passion. It was and STILL IS an important part of your life.
