Yes, I'm Still Grieving
“You’re still grieving?”
Yes. I am.
Sorry if that makes you uncomfortable.
Sorry if you don’t understand.
But grief doesn’t magically disappear after 12 months, or any timeline someone else has decided is “long enough.”
Grief changes, yes — but it doesn’t end.
It becomes part of who you are. It weaves itself into your story.
Some days I laugh. Some days I cry. Some days I do both at the same time.
Grief isn’t a phase I’m trying to “get over.”
It’s love that has nowhere to go.
It’s memories that still live inside me.
It’s missing someone who will always matter.
So, if you’re wondering — yes, I’m still grieving.
And honestly, I always will.
Because the people I lost are still a part of who I am.
Because love like that doesn’t just disappear.
And because real grief isn’t something you move past — it’s something that shapes you.
If you’ve never experienced this, I’m genuinely happy for you.
But for those of us who have — just know you’re not broken.
You’re not “too much.”
You’re simply human.
And you’re doing better than you think.
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.
