“Grief is weird. Some days I can go hours without thinking about the fact that he’s gone. It wasn’t like that the first couple of months. It just changes one day, and you don’t even realize how it happened. It sneaks up so quietly, this invisible barrier that slowly stretches out the amount of time between those thoughts. And then you go, oh yeah, I’m still really sad about this”

“Life gives us grief like mounds of wet clay, Ripe and heavy beneath our reluctant hands, And with it we can do one of three things. We can carry it with us whenever we go, Stooped beneath its awful weight, We can shove it to the back of a wardrobe, Buried beneath an old waxed coat, Or we can make something beautiful, And let it live on beyond us.”

“And instead of useless worrying, I began instead to catalog her. To stockpile every happy memory for later. Like if I had enough pictures of her, of our whole family, then I'd be able to reconstruct her if I had to. Or maybe I'd capture enough of her soul to keep her here.”

“We are most vulnerable during moments of transition. Yet change presents an opportunity to reflect on and release our past. Each time we open a new chapter, sadness will find us, wearing different faces, delivered in different forms. Being present with it and creating space for it allows for its eventual release. Change is hardest to embrace when the loss of our past is palpable, and the payoffs are not yet in sight. I call it courageous living. Others call it a leap of faith... Courageous, creative living is the ability to act, leap, or keep moving forward, even when confidence is nowhere to be found.”
