Gentle Reminder

Remind yourself often, but especially in the moments of profound sadness.  Of unbearable ache.  Of feeling like your heart has been emptied of all the love it once had.  In those moments remind yourself that grief isn’t the absence of love.  Grief IS love and only exists because of it.

Grief is the proof that love was, is and will always be there.  Beside you.  Forever with you. Death doesn’t do us part because long after our person is physically gone, all the love they left behind remains stitched in our hearts for the rest of our time on earth. I came across a quote that reads: “To live in the hearts of those we left behind is to not die”.  That’s exactly where our person will always be.
