You will understand yourself on a deeper level, and on those days that the grief does come up and feels suffocating, you will know how to cope with it. You’ll know that you have people around you to hold you together while you break, no matter how many times it happens. You will know that you can survive it. So, no, it won’t go away, but you will learn how to live with it. For every day that comes after this one, you will be able to put one foot in front of the other, even if someone else who loves you needs to help you move them.”
