The Last Love Note

by Emma Grey

How long is it reasonable to drag out your recovery from grief until you’re expected to get your act together again?

Or maybe that’s where I’m going wrong. You don’t recover from it. There is no “healed” moment. You just absorb it into your new life, somehow, and go from there.

I’ve learned that love outlives death. It holds steady through despair. It won’t fade, even as time elapses and distance increases and your world shifts.
