Make your life a story worth telling.

If you’re scrolling through tumblr trying to distract yourself from something you don’t want to think about or you’re looking for a sign that everything will be okay, this is it. So, breathe. Relax into this moment. You’re alive & that’s all that matters.

Don’t be afraid. You can still be happy after you’ve suffered a great loss. You haven’t really lost them. They will always be with you in spirit.

“I can’t wait to be in a place where my memories of our time together don’t make me sad anymore. Those days were some of the best in my life. I want to be able to think back on them, to smile to myself and cherish them, without feeling like my entire world is falling to pieces.”

— Beau Taplin // T h e B e s t D a y s

“It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime…”

— Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

[thingstotellmymom]

I had my own notion of grief. I thought it was a sad time that followed the death of someone you loved. And you had to push through it to get to the other side. But I’m learning there is no other side.  There is no pushing through. But rather, there is absorption. Adjustment. Acceptance.  And grief is not something you complete. But rather you endure.  Grief is not a task to finish, and move on, but an element of yourself – an alteration of your being.  A new way of seeing, a new definition of self.

two people died that mournful day but only one soul went heaven’s way the soul that on earth remained becoming so consumed in grief’s pain a ghostly shadow of their former self a soul now hiding where few dare delve but delve I must and delve I will keep on delving deep until fully revived is the soul of my life

“The tears I shed for losing you, will grow into an ocean of nostalgia hoping one day I can hold your hand. I fear life without you, the future is bleak, and darkness is all I see. Destiny promised us eternity, and I thought the end was so far away. But eternity was too short, and little did I know right around the corner, the Reaper waited for you. Forever I will stay, alone living out what is left of my days. Hoping someday, you will be with me. Is it selfish of me to wish this? to wish for you in my every breath? Please dont fade away, please hear me…Please never leave me.”

— written by Autumn A. Hutchings, A poem of Grieving.

“You will not return to the life that was. That’s simply not possible. What we can do is bow to the damaged parts, the holes blown in our lives. We can wonder what parts of ourselves survived the blast.”

— Megan Devine, refugeingrief.com

“It sucks that we miss people like that. You think you’ve accepted that someone is out of your life, that you’ve grieved and it’s over, and then bam. One little thing, and you feel like you’ve lost that person all over again.”

— Rachel Hawkins, Demonglass
