Grief

There is no worse loss to experience than grief loss.
The pain is unexplainable, here’s what I would say.
Grief is a suffocating, relentless ache that wraps itself around your heart.
It fills your chest and squeezes all the air out of your lungs.
You can’t breathe, you can’t think, you can’t eat.
Then all you do is cry, and sometimes throw up and gasp for air.
When you wake up you experience a split second of normality before your brain remembers the horrible truth.
You finally get in the shower, not because it’s been forever but to scream and cry because it’s the only place you feel safe enough to fall apart.
Days blur together but the minutes crawl by as if time wasn’t moving at all.
People around you move on and the world keep turning and you can’t understand why everyone else isn’t destroyed like you are.
You’re sad and angry at everyone. Mad at the world for being ok while you’re drowning in pain.
The loss you feel from grief is like nothing else. It covers you from head to toe and settles deep in your bones.
