You don't just grieve the loss of your loved one. You grieve the future you had imagined together, the memories you could have made, and an entire life that should have been. #grief #widow #thegriefspot #thegspot #griefisadirtyword #normalizegrief

#grief creates a visceral reactionary state within the mind & body of the individual. Surrendering them to internal & physical pain. Stifled in one's own echo chamber. It permeates the soul with carnage permanently altered by deafening sound. #widow #thegriefspot #griefisadirtyword #normalizegrief

"Grief never leaves you, you just get better at hurting..." #widow #thegriefspot #thegspot #griefisadirtyword #normalizegrief

Take a seat...

It is possible to love what was and love what is.
It is possible to build a new life while honoring an old.
Grief makes your heart bigger, deeper and stronger for what comes next if you let it. #grief #widow #thegriefspot #thegspot #griefisadirtyword #normalizegrief

Tis the Season...

Turn this picture to the right. Stolen from a friend.

At some point, we will all grieve someone or something. #grief #widow #thegriefspot #thegspot #griefisadirtyword #normalizegrief

“When grief becomes a holiday guest, it changes so much, and I hope that you are especially gentle with your heart as you find ways to navigate this challenging time of year.”
