Welcome to the part of grief everyone knows about but no one talks about.
The point where the dust has settled the world keeps going but you are still stuck missing someone you never thought you would have to miss because they are gone too soon.
The holidays come and bring all those emotions right back,so here's what you should know.
You are not alone I repeat You are NOT alone so don't hide, reach out others have gone though grief too and they may not know what you are going through but they understand that the emotions and feelings are heavy .
You are not a burden i repeat you are NOT a burden and deserve to be heard
You don't owe anyone an explanation if the grief is heavy no matter how long you have carried it.
You are valid no matter what emotion(s) you hold at any given point.I repeat You ARE valid.
The hardest of all these.This was the Lord's plan even if you don't understand why so lean on him .
Grief is not linear and it's never ending so don't be ashamed just remember. People die twice when they stop breathing and when the ones they left behind stop keeping their memory alive. It's okay and it is good to talk about grief otherwise you will drown in it.
The holidays are extra hard and that's okay because the people who love you are here and ready to listen.
May the Lord bless you and your family.
