Grief is a deep scar that changes us, reshaping our foundation, leaving an ache that ebbs and flows. But over time, that scar becomes part of who we are, a testament to our endurance. It reminds us of what we’ve loved and lost, and, in its quiet way, it strengthens us, teaching us tenderness, empathy, and resilience. Grief becomes not just something we carry, but something that carries us into deeper, more compassionate ways of living.

Thank you for these. It look me three years to find my way after my mum died...thankfully I knew to ignore the "haven't you got over that?" messages and honour my own journey. And yes - there was not back to normal.. a new reality opened up. Grief is all too easily exiled in our culture.
