to say i miss you doesn't even begin to capture the despair your absence has brought me.

grief is honestly the single most crippling emotion.

Anguish | The Orphan. A Memory of Auvergne

— by August Friedrich Schenk

grief comes in waves.

it does not get worse over time,

it does not get any better, either.

it feels like you are trapped beneath the cold

waves of grief, flushed into the rock bottom

of the ocean. all the waves crash—

at least, you will find the surface, & ground

yourself ashore. pain will come back in waves,

but you will learn to stay afloat.

There are mornings I can’t get out of bed. Not right away. Not for hours. The weight hits before my feet touch the floor.

Showering can feel impossible. Eating feels pointless. Plans get canceled before they even begin. Texts go unanswered. Tears happen in parking lots and bathrooms and behind sunglasses.

Sometimes I make it to work and pretend I’m okay. Sometimes I don’t.

Grief isn’t always poetic. It doesn’t always look like healing. Sometimes it’s blankness. Sometimes it’s rage. Sometimes it’s a torn toenail that causes an emotional breakdown.

Sometimes it’s remembering, again, that I can’t call her. And still can’t.

And still can’t.

I do what I can. And when I can’t, I wait until I can.

That’s it. That’s the whole strategy.

And today, I got out of bed. That counts.
