It Takes Grace To Remain Kind

“It hurts to live after someone has died. It just does. It can hurt to walk down a hallway or open the fridge. It hurts to put on a pair of socks, to brush your teeth. Food tastes like nothing. Colors go flat. Music hurts, and so do memories. You look at something you’d otherwise find beautiful–a purple sky at sunset or a playground full of kids–and it only somehow deepens the loss. Grief is so lonely this way.”

–Michelle Obama, Becoming

“But I must admit, I miss you terribly. The world is too quiet without you nearby.”

When Patroclus said “When he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him”. When Marvin said “Who would I be, if I had not loved you. How would I know what love is?”. When Hozier said “Lay me gently in the cold dark earth, no grave can hold my body down I’ll crawl home to her”.

[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.

“You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy.”
