“Missing them doesn’t mean you made a mistake.”
It’s okay if your heart still whispers their name. That doesn’t mean you want them back. It means your body remembers — the warmth, the comfort, the routine.
Grief is not an enemy. It’s a companion on the path back to yourself.
Let yourself miss them without rushing to erase it. Stay with the feeling long enough to understand it. And when you’re ready, release it gently — like breath from your chest.
Inhale deeply. As you exhale, imagine a gentle release. Say quietly: 'I can miss them and still choose me.' Repeat for five breaths.
Light a candle for your grief tonight. Let it burn as a symbol of love turning inward.
Kai R. “Some days I still miss them. But it no longer hurts the same. There’s space now — for me.”
Grief is proof you loved deeply.
