Grief like yours

 Grief like yours, love like yours,

can only be carried. Survival in grief,
even eventually building a new life
alongside grief, comes with the
willingness to bear witness,
both to yourself and to the others
who find themselves inside this
life they didn't see coming.

Grief, like love, isn’t something
you overcome. It’s something you
carry with you, something that
shapes who you are and how
you move through the world.
And in that carrying, in that witnessing,
you find the strength to keep going,
even when the path is one you
never expected to walk.
