I came across a wonderful article that I wanted to share with our readers. It perfectly aligns with my belief that we don’t ever “get over” our grief. It becomes a part of our story. It is a scar that reminds us of a life lived, and a life lost. It reminds us of the love we had and will continue to have for the remainder of our life.
“It’s hard to imagine grief as a welcome companion, but if you take the long view, it makes a lot of sense. I won’t ever stop missing my dad. So, I’m going to make up the spare room, put fresh sheets on the bed and make grief feel welcome. Befriending my new roommate may seem unlikely, but it’s a lot wiser than trying to live with an enemy.” The more we try and ignore that bigger it becomes. Allowing space for the “new roommate” as the author states is often the best choice we can make for ourselves. Click the link below to read the article in its entirety.
Thank you Jessica for the Amazing, Quirky article you recently linked ‘I’m Learning to make Peace with my Grief’ by Suzanne Westover. It’s so very very TRUE & anyone affected by Grief should read it ❣️
