Grief Is the Language I Never Wanted to Learn

Poetry 1: Grief Is the Language I Never Wanted to Learn The moon speaks in whispers now, soft syllables of absence curling against a lavender sky. I trace your name through the air, like writing on water gone before it’s spoken. Every night, I translate silence into memory, and memory i

Lessons I Never Wanted to Learn

The older I get, the less I believe life is about having all the answers. It’s more about learning what matters, what doesn’t and what you’re willing to carry. These are three things I’ve learned the hard way. Which one speaks to you most? #lifelessons #personalgrowth #mindset

living with GRIEF 🌹🥺

Living with grief isn’t just missing someone. It’s waking up every day with a piece of you missing—and still trying to smile. It’s hearing a laugh that sounds like theirs and forgetting how to breathe. It’s carrying a thousand “what ifs” and “I should’ve” in your chest like lead. It’s pretendin

Grief teaches you things no one signs up to learn. Not because you’re strong, but because you have to survive. You learn to breathe when your chest feels heavy. You learn to stop explaining your pain and start honoring it. Grief doesn’t make you faithless. It makes you desperate enough to tr

Grief 🌸

Grief has been one of the hardest things I’ve had to carry, and one thing I’m learning is that the Bible does not tell us to pretend we’re okay. It shows us a God who is near to the brokenhearted, who allows us to pour out our hearts, and who understands tears. Grief is not weakness. It is human

I never studied grief- lived it.

I didn’t know what grief was when my partner died. I didn’t study it. I didn’t dissect it. I didn’t try to understand it. I simply lived inside it. And I’ve learned that one of the biggest ways we suffer is by trying to analyze every part of our mind and every experience we go through. Some

The language of grief

There is no right way to grieve. There is only your way. And while our grief may look different, it still binds us together. Every ache, every tear, every silence is proof that love has touched us — and that we are not alone in carrying its weight. 🤍 #griefandloss #healing #griefandhea

Grieving the loss of someone who’s still alive

Losing someone important to you due to their own choices can be one of the most difficult experiences any human could endure. The sheer part of letting go is the hardest. Why would you let go of someone that’s still there? Doesn’t that show YOU’VE given up? Or maybe you agree to the choice as well?

I wrote my way through grief

I didn’t write to move on. I wrote because I didn’t know how else to hold what I was feeling. Grief showed up in waves — sometimes soft, sometimes flooring. And my journal became the only place I didn’t have to pretend I was okay. I could rage. I could whisper. I could ask the questions that
