I missed you today.
But I miss you a lot of days.
I don’t know if I’ll ever get over this sorrow.
People keep telling me it gets easier. That time heals. That one day I’ll be okay.
But I don’t think that’s true.
I think this grief is permanent. This missing you is permanent. This ache in my chest where you used to be is permanent.
And I don’t know how to live with that.
I try to move on because I know that’s what you’d want. You wouldn’t want me stuck here, drowning in this, unable to live my life.
But moving on feels impossible when all I want is to go back. To when you were here. To when my world included you.
I try to move forward without leaving you behind.
But how do I do that? How do I build a life that doesn’t include you without it feeling like I’m forgetting you?
How do I be okay when you’re not here?
I don’t have answers. I just have grief. And love. And the unbearable weight of missing you.
I missed you today.
And I’ll keep missing you.
Every single day.
For the rest of my life.
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.
