September was the last time I hugged my Big mama. I still haven’t washed that sweatshirt. It just sits folded.

A major piece of me left this earth 4 months ago. Losing your grandma shifts something in you. Losing your last grandparent changes your whole world.

And it hurts until it eats you alive. Changes you forever in the blink of an eye. And it’s not something that just fades overnight. It’s something that stays for the rest of your life. When you lose somebody you love.

[sorrowsofsilence]

death is a weird thing.

it almost doesn’t even feel real. how can someone exist one day, and then be gone the next? how are you supposed to be prepared for the phone call saying “they’re gone”, even when you already knew time was numbered anyway?

the strangest part is that even when death has impacted you, the world just keeps spinning as if it hasn’t.

im so sorry to anyone who’s lost someone close to them. i fully hear you now, even when i thought i did before.

Grief is a Ball in a Box

(tbh i'm just gonna copy and paste from here but this is truly one of the best ways to look at grief and understand how it works)

Grief is a pain button in a box with a ball.

In the early stages, the ball is very big. You cannot move the ball without it frequently hitting the pain button. It rattles around on its own in there and hits the button over and over again, sometimes so much that it feels like you can’t stop it – you can’t control it – it just keeps hurting.

But as time goes on, the ball gets smaller. It doesn’t disappear completely and when it hits the pain button, it’s just as intense, but generally, it is easier to get through each day.

So please understand. In a week, in a month, in a year, you might be reminded of your grief and it might hurt just as bad as it did when you first heard the news. The goal with healing grief isn't to never not feel sad again. That unfortunately is not likely to happen. The goal is that the ball gets smaller so you don't hit that pain button as much.

I plant roots so deeply in the people I love that I always lose a piece of myself when they go.

All my grief says the same thing - this isn't how it's supposed to be. And the world laughs, holds my hope by my throat, says: but this is how it is.
