Grief

Grief...
It's the weight that settles deep within your chest,
so heavy that even breathing feels different.
A feeling no words can truly explain.
It makes you question everything
life,
time,
God,
and even yourself.
Until grief finds you,
you may never fully understand it.
Grief doesn't only happen at funerals.
It arrives in the silence,
when everyone who came to mourn has gone home.
When the phone stops ringing.
When the flowers begin to fade.
When the world quietly moves on...
But yours doesn't.
That's when grief becomes the loudest.
It is the ache that lives beneath your smile.
The tears that fall in the darkest hours of the night,
when no one is there to hear them.
You find yourself wishing
just for one more conversation,
one more hug,
one more ordinary moment with the person you love.
You keep asking yourself,
'Will this ever stop hurting? '
But grief doesn't leave.
It simply learns to walk beside you.
It follows you through your busiest days
and sits beside you in your quietest moments.
Sometimes it arrives with a memory.
Sometimes with a song.
Sometimes with an empty chair at the table.
You miss them.
Every single day.
And in that missing,
you realize that grief is love with nowhere to go.
Grief changes you.
It changes the way you see the world,
the way you love,
the way you hold the people who are still here.
You never truly get over it.
You simply learn to carry it.
Because grief isn't something you explain.
It's something you survive.
