Tell Me How This Ends

by Jo Leevers

grief is a major life trauma

you don’t get a second chance at life.

that life is short and it’s best to make the most of it, while you can.

At first, you’ll feel as if a huge hole has opened up in front of you. But slowly the edges will soften and the hole will start to fill up. As time goes on, you won’t fall into it quite so often and eventually you’ll be able to stand on the edge and look into it. Remember, grief is the price we pay for love. Be kind to yourselves – the first year will be the hardest

‘Some people say it gets easier, but I think you just adapt. The grief doesn’t go; you just mould yourself around it.
