I think loss and grief are some of the hardest things we do as humans. Some days we're bopping along and everything's fine. Other days, the griefs and losses from years back can pull up in a wave and swallow us whole. Take our breath away. Make the whole world stand still. 💜 No one rides for free in this life. Grief is always the price of love because no one lives forever. I wish there was another way. I really, really do. 💜 I admire those of you in the clinic who share stories of your loved ones with me and who are brave enough to let the tears come. It is so clear to me how each of you are living out the best of what you saw in your loved one who's no longer with us. You are the doing the work. Your grief and your joy honor the person, the dream, the relationship, or the life you lost. The intensity of your loss is only exceeded by the intensity of love you felt for your loved one while they were alive, and continue to feel even though they're not still with us in person. I get it. I'm with you. I admire you all. Your vulnerability. The way you keep going. That's how you heal. That's how you do grief. Eventually, all that's left is mostly love. I promise. So much love and hugs your way. #grief #griefandloss #griefandgrieving #ongrief #ongriefandgrieving #glennondoyle #glennondoylequotes #love #loss #loveandloss #terriblethanksforasking #counseling #mindbody #mindbodymedicine (at Dr. Kate Henry) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPJBEx7gVYx/?utm_medium=tumblr
