Grief is something I never thought I’d understand so deeply until I lost my 48-year-old mother to stage four lung cancer when I was just 24.
the love you shared doesn’t end just because they are no longer here.
grief is wanting to keep everything that was ever theirs because sometimes we feel that is all we have left of them. but don’t forget all of the intangible things they left behind. the memories you made together. the things they have taught you. the love they left you with.
the hardest part wasn’t just the loss.. it was the learning to live without them in a place that doesn’t feel like home anymore.
you have my heart; you are my heart.
and nothing has been the same without you.
live your life for the ones you love who no longer can.
these are the people you will never forget.
in every bird that stops by, but never makes a sound.
the depth of our grief measures the magnitude of our love.
grief is so sneaky. one minute you’re fine, the next minute you’re in the aisle of a grocery store crying because you saw a snack they used to love.
that cardinal in your yard that always seems to come back.
i now know that a house is just a house. it’s the people that make it a home.
it’s the longest and the hardest goodbye.
