I know that I need to start talking about my dad’s death.  I’m just not sure with who.  My mom is mentally absent and there is really only one other person I trust to share his memories and my feelings with.  At the moment I’m stuck in limbo, between my brain trying to tell me he is still here and my heart telling me he isn’t.  It’s prolonging my grief and pain but I am just not sure how to go about it.  I am too anxious to attend an actual grief support group but cannot afford to pay for one online.  I know I need to start taking better care of my mental health.  I am just so scared to be vulnerable with anyone, even myself.  I know once the tears start and reality sets in, they wont stop and I’m really not sure how I will reel myself back in

“It’s like you get it, rationally you get it but you can’t truly believe it. It’s so jarring. What do you mean forever? It just can’t be. Somedays it just can’t be.”

Demeter

So my grief withers the world around me.  You want me to bring back the sunlight I can’t feel,  to coax the world back into growth and warmth–but what if I tell you the source of that growth and warmth is joy? 

Are you really telling me that if the world depended on your heart, you would never allow a winter?

I promise you, when my heart returns  to wholeness, the world will bloom again and you will bloom with it. 

That promise is all I can give you.

and grieving you for my entire life wouldn’t be enough

“There is not a reason for everything. Not every loss can be transformed into something useful. Things happen that do not have a silver lining.”
