Time passes and I am still not through it. Grief isn't something you get over. You live with it. You go on on with it lodged in you. Sometimes I feel like I have swallowed a pile of stones. Grief makes me heavy. It makes me slow. Even on days when I laugh a lot, or dance, or finish a project, or meet a deadline, or celebrate, or make love, it is there. Lodged deep inside of me.
I have learned that there is more power in a good strong hug than in a thousand meaningful words.
Grief doesn't have a plot. It isn't smooth. There is no beginning and middle and end.
