I miss you

[joli--coeur]

reminders for those grieving a loved one:

+ it’s okay to have happy days, you’re not doing a disservice to your loved one by being happy.

+ the grief process is not linear. you will have good days. bad days. okay days. you’ll start your day happy and end it sad...or the reverse. be gentle with yourself. you’re doing great so far.

+ you’ll be reminded of your loved one. those memories may make you feel an incredible amount of emotions, from happy to sad.

+ it’s okay to feel nothing. to feel numb. you won’t always feel like crying or laughing. some days, you’ll feel apathetic. again, that’s okay...that’s normal.

+ keep their memory alive by remembering the good ole days with them. watch videos, look at photos, tell stories about them with your friends/family.

+ it’s okay to not want to talk about your loved one or look at old photos/videos of them. sometimes, it can be tough to remember the good times, because they make you miss them even more.

+ it’s okay to cry. it’s okay to sob. it’s okay to feel low. it’s okay to feel empty. it’s okay to feel anger. it’s okay to take time for yourself.

+ guilt is a normal part of the grieving process, but don’t blame yourself. or do your best to not blame yourself. you did the best you could. it’s not your fault.

+ lean on those around you for support. and support them as well (if they’re affected by the loss). talk to a therapist. find a grief support group.

+ don’t compare your grief to others’. your emotions and grieving process are valid, and should not be compared to those who are grieving as well.

+ it’s okay to feel angry, but do not take out your pain on other people. channel that anger into something healthy — like painting or running/exercising. if your anger becomes too much, i urge you to seek counseling (as it’s completely normal to).

+ know that you will heal. one day, you’ll have more up days than down days. you’ll smile more. you’ll feel like yourself again or a better version of yourself.

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.

car rides by yourself.. with loud music… are good for the soul.

ok. disney’s first gay character is released 5 times per month. whatever. but they add love, simon, a movie where the whole central theme and plot is literally about a teen being gay, and disney+ removes it for not being family friendly. ok.

this homophobia tastes different but it's still homophobia flavored

lets go to all the art galleries and all the museums this place has to offer, let's go to all the libraries and cafes this place has to offer, let's eat pizzas at every corner you love, let's just indulge in love and be absolutely unbothered of the world, let's walk through all the places you have shared a laugh and every place you have shed a tear, hand in hand, under the sky lights, your hand is in mine, the world seems fine.

If I could just be one thing for you, I would want to be someone you can call home.

my wife is constantly mocking me for how lightly done I like my toast. “your hot bread is done,” she says to me. disgusting

“Isn’t it odd how much fatter a book gets when you’ve read it several times? As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells…and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower…both strange and familiar.” - Cornelia Funke, The Inkheart
