Less than 2 years after my late Husband Ray’s passing, I set out to have our ‘new normal’ captured in photos.
I wanted people to know that we were doing ok.
I wanted people to know that despite our GRIEF, there was still a LOT of joy to be had!
It’s ok to BE happy even when you have just lost a loved one, while still honouring them in loving memory.
Sometimes it’s a brave happy, in my case, for my kids.
Sometimes it’s a happy-sad.
You will experience a rollercoaster of all emotions, sometimes all in one day. Sometimes all in one moment.
Everyone’s Grief journey is different.
For this brief moment I was happy and proud ❤️
What took my breath away was the way our photographer captured my children’s innocence, their brave, their happy, their sadness, their love, and their ability to live in the moment, all at once.
I will treasure these images forever @melissajeanbabies#melissajeanphotography ?
It was the beginning of whole lot of growth and self discovery ❤️
