“I guess by now I should know enough about loss to realize that you never really stop missing someone-you just learn to live around the huge gaping hole of their absence.”

If you have ever lost someone very important to you, then you already know how it feels, and if you haven’t, you cannot possibly imagine it.

The past will always be a part of who we are. It’s how we feel about it moving forward that matters.

[i-wrote-you-a-poem]

grief, i’ve learned, is really just love. it’s all the love you want to give but cannot. all that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and the hollow part of your chest. grief is just love with no place to go.

When you wake up from a dream that makes you so sad that you start crying, years after they’ve passed, it doesn’t mean you haven’t healed. It just means you loved them so very much and you miss them.

“I don’t think people understand how stressful it is to explain what’s going on in your head when you don’t even understand it yourself.”

After you lose someone, there’s a point where all you can tell to others are the same stories over and over because you can’t create new ones. And they get old pretty quickly but you can’t stop telling them because they’re the only stories that remain

Grief is like glitter; No matter how much you try and tidy it up you’re never going to get rid of it all. You’re always going to find bits of it.

Sometimes people can’t love you and it has nothing to do with you

[i-wrotethisforme]

You know it’s really fucking sad when people leave your life. That’s it, regardless of the situation, even if you come out a better person for it, it’s just really fucking sad. People who you had memories with, people who know things about you and taught you things, people who you at one time looked at like they were your world. No matter who’s choice it was for them to leave, it sucks. It’s hard and it sucks and there’s no way around that. And it happens to all of us and we’re going to keep meeting people who might also one day leave us, but that’s life and we have no say in the matter so sometimes it’s okay to just think something sucks and hope it doesn’t completely destroy you.
