Missing someone in Heaven is a daily ache that never fully leaves.
It lives in your routine, your silence, your thoughts, your heartbeat.
It’s not something to fix or get over. Grief is a form of love that has lost its physical home. But it’s still love and that love deserves space.
Talk about them, say their name, keep them close because they still matter.

My wonderful partner died over 5 months ago. For a few weeks I’ve had to hide photos of him away. My grief seemed not to subside, in any way, each time I looked at them. Today I’ve been brave and brought them out again. The grief is still there, a physical sensation in my chest which I hadn’t experienced for some time. So very glad I can share this here.

I now know I should not have put my darling partner’s photos on display again. Am not feeling so good, anxiety coming back. But, I am still able to listen to music. It’s all so strange, the way the brain and our emotions react.

Hi Bonnie, sorry to hear you are feeling anxious. It is funny how things can effect us. I often find myself crying looking at pictures but it doesn’t bring me down like the weekends do. I have the house covered with photos when the TV is on pause it starts throwing pictures of my sweet thing and in the kitchen I have a digital frame changing photos all the time. I hope you’ll soon be able to have your photos out without it causing you to be uncomfortable.
Wishing you all the best

Thank you so much Tom. I know I will get to a better place in my head again before too long. All was going so well.

I feel the same about my partner’s photos. I’m six and a half months in now and have only just been able to look at the photos without crying. I remember being like that when my mum died too. I cry all the time anyway, the waves of grief just come over me, often triggered by songs or memories. I would dearly like some respite but my grief is relentless just now.
