Even when the world looks cold and unwelcoming And it feels like no-one has your back Remember the world needs your light even more because without you it will be even darker And you are loved, even if you don’t feel it right now Let these feelings pass and tomorrow you can tell a friend all about how terrible yesterday was Because tomorrow you may remember where you feel safe, and that you are loved and find hope again Stay Repost from @sara_rian_books • everything misses you. ♥ 𝚋𝚘𝚘𝚔𝚜 𝚊𝚟𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚘𝚗 𝙰𝚖𝚊𝚣𝚘𝚗 ♥ 『𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚔 𝚒𝚗 𝚋𝚒𝚘』 #grief #grieving #griefsupport #heartache #normalizegrief #parentloss #griefjourney #loss #lifeafterdeath #loveandloss #lostlovedones #imissyou #losingyou #griefquotes #motherlessdaughters #motherlessmoms #bereavement #deathanddying #griefandloss #motherlessmothers #poetry #writersofinstagram #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #griefclub #poetryofinstagram #griefhealing #suicidelosssurvivor #suicideloss #grievingdaughter https://www.instagram.com/p/CnoZM_aMenL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's five months today that Dad finished his time here and went on to his next adventure. I didn't realize we were at the month anniversary until my mom reminded me. But, I knew it in my body and spirit. Since last Sunday, I have been achy and my heart has been heavy and for lack of a better description... slow. Yesterday, I cried a lot. . Mom and I talked last night about how grief is such an individualized journey. Mom and I are both grieving the same person. And, despite that, our grief feels like it is ours alone. It's not that we can't support each other, but we don't and can't walk on the same path with the other. That can feel lonely even while we know our loved ones are here for us. We can't carry each other's grief. I used an analogy that we are on our own paths and we can stretch across the divide between the two paths and hold hands. . "What do we live for, if not to make life less difficult for each other?" -George Eliot (aka Mary Ann Evans) . #griefjourney #thereforeachother #grieving #allowthefeelings #normalizegrief #artheals #abstractart #womenartists #socalartist #encinitasart #intuitiveartist (at North County, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWMKOcyvr0q/?utm_medium=tumblr

If I can’t live with you, then I have to live for you, and I will keep your memory alive in the most positive way I know how. Kindness creates a ripple effect, touching lives you don’t even know about. Kindness is good for the mental health of not only the one who receives the kindness, but the giver of kindness also benefits from positive mental health Lets spread kindness 🥰 Repost from @moreandbest10 • I will say your name and tell your story to all who will hear it. I will do good because of you. I will let the world know that you were here. Lives will change for the better because of you. I will not sit quietly. I will not let them forget. You were here. You were mine. Your life has purpose and you matter. My final act of love is keeping your memory alive. #grief #griefjourney #griefsupport #griefawareness #normalizegrief #childloss #infantloss #miscarriage #stillbirth #tfmr #neonatalloss #parentingafterloss #lifeafterloss #grievingmother #babyloss #babylosscommunity #lossmama #heylossmama #bereavedmother #bereavedparents (at Kindness Inspires Kindness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvUu4aM2r0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Grief is a journey that never really ends, just changes over time. It's like the ocean, sometimes there are no waves. Other times they range from gentle to tsunami strength. #normalizegrief #griefjourney #griefsupport #normalizegrieftalk (at Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcToA9lunj1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
