“Missing them doesn’t mean you should go back. It means you’re healing.”
You smell their cologne. Hear a song. See a text thread you forgot to delete — and suddenly it hits again.
The ache. The missing.
That doesn’t mean you’re going backward. It means you’re still healing.
Grief is not a staircase. It loops. It pulses. It returns.
And each time you feel it and stay soft, you’re healing deeper than before.
Place both hands on your heart. Whisper: 'It’s okay to miss. And still move forward.'
Text a friend and share how you’re feeling — no need to fix it, just name it.
Talia S. “I miss them sometimes. But I don’t wish them back. That’s how I know I’m healing.”
You’re not broken — you’re remembering.
