I once yearned for my grief to get lighter.
For the physical and emotional pain to slowly disappear with time.
I wish I could tell you that it does,
But I can’t.
I’ve simply learnt to live with it, to carry the memories in my heart?
It becomes part of you.
You change , and that change can evolve for the better or for the worse
These days ,I choose to chase the joy?
I’ve learnt to count blessings not problems.
So every time grief tries to steal my breath, I remind myself of a whole world of love. A love that I got to receive unconditionally from these two outstanding Men. The tears still flow after all this time.
They are a part of me. I will choose to honour them with joy and share the lessons and gifts they have given to me and the world?
My Dad was my King, I was so lucky to have him. I was only 17 when I had to say goodbye.
The amazing Man laid to rest next to him ,8 years later, is my eldest brother Brett.
To tell the tale of Brett’s life is a book in itself , a life well lived, despite paraplegia. He was an absolute legend in my eyes⭐
At 25 years old ,I never got to say goodbye.
I miss my Dad and my Bro every single day. The pain of intense grief doesn’t hurt less with time. It’s just that my heart has grown bigger ❤, so I have more room for the light to shine.
Hold your loved ones close ?
Always say I LOVE YOU ❤
?Gifts From Grief?
Love Life .
