I’m gonna cry wtf

repeat after me: this is my grief journey and nobody else’s. i will never allow anyone to put a timeline on my grief. i will never feel bad for having a day when i scream and cry and let it all out. i will never be guilted into missing my loved one any less just because so much time has gone by. and i will never, ever stop talking about them just because people think that i should be “over it by now”

PREACH!!!

i think that when it is all said and done.. after we lay them to rest and the people start to leave. the flowers start to wilt, and the sympathy cards stop coming. the check-ins lessen and the world just keeps on turning.. it’s like they die all over again and i think a piece of us dies with them.

THIS RIGHT HERE!

there are moments when i still reach for the phone to call you.. just to hear your voice. but i know that if i did, it wouldn’t be you on the other end.. and it hurts all over again. i hate that you’re not here. i hate that i can’t hug you. i hate that i can’t tell you all about my days. i always find myself wishing for one more moment with you. once more chance to tell you just how much i love you. one more laugh at all the things that only we thought were funny.. and it hurts all over again.

Thinking about my Gram again 😭😣😩
