“Grief is the echo of love still reverberating through time.”
Grief is not a malfunction. It's not something broken inside you. It's love — still alive, but without a place to land.
We live in a world eager to tidy pain. To rush you past the ache. To suggest closure when all you want is to remember.
But what if nothing is wrong with you? What if your sorrow is sacred?
You’re not weak for crying. You’re not behind for hurting. You are simply in the presence of something holy — the depth of what you had, and what your heart still carries.
This grief is not asking to be solved. It's asking to be witnessed.
Today, let that be enough. Let your ache be valid. Let your love be real.
You are not alone. You are not doing it wrong. You are grieving — which means you dared to love deeply. And that is something the world needs more of, not less.
Find a quiet space. Place your hands over your heart. Whisper the name of the one you miss, or simply the word 'love.' Breathe in for four counts, hold for two, exhale for six. Let yourself feel, without needing to change anything.
Write a short note to the one you lost. Not a goodbye — just a message of what’s in your heart today. Place it somewhere safe, or carry it with you.

Grief does not mean the love ended. Only that it changed shape.
