Kindle Notes & Highlights
Grief is heavy, but so is love.. and somehow, we learn to carry the weight of both.
the love you shared doesn’t end just because they are no longer here.
i made a wish today. a wish that you are free of pain and at peace. a wish that you would visit me in my dreams. a wish that you somehow know how much I love and miss you. today, i wished for you.
when the seasons change, i miss you even more for each thing that changes is a constant reminder of time passing by without you here.
i never truly understood loss until i sat next to my mom’s hospital bed and begged for a miracle that never came.
we replay our last words over and over again. always wishing for just one more chance to hear their voice and i don’t think that the longing to speak to them, just one more time, ever truly goes away.
grief is the shadow that follows you around everywhere you go. some days it is barely there. some days it is all you can see.
say their name. shout it from a rooftop. talk about them. tell their story. drive with the windows down, blasting their old favorite songs. celebrate their life. live yours for them. never let them be forgotten.. and they will always be remembered.
they say that grief is the price we pay for love.. but what they don’t tell you is that sometimes the cost is so high that we never truly recover.
while the world sleeps, my heart weeps for you and all you have missed.
losing a parent is not just a moment of sadness. it’s a lifelong adjustment to our world as we always knew it now forever changed.
on those days when grief asks too much of you.. it’s okay to tell people that you need time and space. it’s okay to cry your heart out alone in your room. it’s okay to scream at the top of your lungs and let it out. it’s okay to do what you need to do to make it through these days.
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.
i don’t think that there is one single thing in this entire world that can prepare us for having to live this life without our parents.
from your dad in heaven to my daughter, my wish for you is that you are embraced in all the light and love that this world has to offer. although you can no longer see me, i want you to know that i am still very much a part of your life, forever watching you from the sky. please remember that i have loved every precious moment that i had with you, my sweet daughter. i am so lucky to be your dad. i am your guardian angel now, always protecting you just as i did on earth. when you find yourself missing me, i hope you look to your heart because that is where you will find me. i have left all

the time just keeps flying by.. like it’s trying to outrun the heartache of missing you.
