Bringing Grief with Me
You don’t move on from grief.
You drag it with you.
Day after day. Year after year.
It doesn’t stay where they left you.
It follows. Into every room. Into every breath.
It sits on your chest when you wake up, and it crawls into bed with you at night.
Some days it’s quiet. Other days it knocks the wind out of you.
And no matter how much time passes, it never really loosens its grip.
Because when you loved someone with everything you had,
their absence never stops cutting.
You don’t get over it.
You just learn how to stand, even with the weight of it breaking you down.
If these words connected with you, you’ll find many more like them in What Remains. It’s a collection of the writings I’ve shared over the years, bringing together reflections on grief, love, loss, and the connections that continue long after someone is gone.
I hope it brings you comfort, understanding, and the reminder that you’re not alone.
