Nowhere But Up

I’m sorry to hear you are so sick and feeling so terrible. I will pray for you. Sending you a friendly healing hug...💝

“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.”—C.S. Lewis Everyone will experience losing someone they love at some point in their life. You don’t have to deal with it alone—please reach out to family, friends, or a grief counselor.💚 #WorldMentalHealthDay #grief #support

“Sometimes the hardest part isn’t letting go but rather learning to start over.”—Nicole Sobon #grief #startingover

I am forever chained To the time you left; One clock started When the other stopped. But I am not chained To him, to this. It’s time to take your memories And leave this place. I’ve found some losses bind us, While others set us free. #NationalPoetryDay #grief #relationships

I finally washed one of your blankets. I knew it was time. I briefly felt as if I was washing pieces of you away, but I pushed the feeling aside and did it anyway. The blanket is so soft now and smells so clean. You would’ve loved it. #firststeps #stillmissyou

You’ve been gone one year. I didn’t think I’d make it, Yet here I am. Life, as they say, Does go on, Even if your taste for living it Is gone. #SundayMorning #SundayThoughts #grief #missyou #iloveyou❤️

It is late and cold and in seven hours and forty minutes, you will have been gone one year. There are still no words for what I feel except the ones I say every day and will say every day for the rest of my life: I miss you. #grief #iloveyou❤️

Six months ago I lost you. How can time move so slowly and so quickly all at once? But no matter how it moves, it's not healing anything.💔

I still forget. I see your face on my phone And can't wait to get home. Then I remember It's not home anymore Because you're not there.

When I'm numb, I can almost forget to remember You're not here. But some days, Like today, Every cell in my body Is on fire with your loss.
