A friend sent it to me.
I wish more people understood that grief isn’t just sadness and crying.
Grief is being angry, being numb, being broken, and being everything in between
Grief is so different for everyone, and you have to go through the motions and roll with the punches.
When you’re grieving the loss of someone, you grieve for what was and what will never be; grief also takes a big toll on your mental and physical health.
Grief is LOVE with nowhere to go.
Grief is trying to remind yourself that “this too shall pass”
Grief is forcing yourself out of bed to shower and eat.
Grief is isolating yourself.
Grief is surrounding yourself with people and things to distract your brain from reality.
Grief is ugly and rough, so if you cannot understand why people grieve so hard for so long and so deeply, consider yourself lucky not to understand
