The Decisions Grief Leaves Behind
Holidays.
Family gatherings.
Selling the house.
Packing up their belongings.
Starting a new relationship.
Taking a vacation.
These aren’t just decisions anymore.
They’re decisions you have to make without the person you love.
Before loss, many of these things would have come and gone without a second thought.
Now they can keep you awake at night.
You second-guess yourself.
You wonder if you’re ready.
You wonder if it’s too soon.
You wonder what they would have wanted.
Grief doesn’t just leave you missing the person you love.
It changes the way you make decisions about the life that’s still in front of you.
Because from this point forward, every decision has to be made without them.
If you’ve connected with my writing here, What Remains brings together many of my most meaningful pieces in one place. It’s a collection of writings about grief, love, loss, and the lasting connections that remain.
