A Heartfelt Letter For Those Grieving A Loss

Listen, I know it’s hard right now and I know you don’t want to be going through these waves of undeniable pain, but I’m proud of you for continuing to move forward, the best way you can, even if sometimes it feels like you can’t move. Even if sometimes you don’t think you’re handling it the best that you could, please don’t be too hard on yourself. You are doing the best that you can, even if it doesn’t feel like you are. You are here. You are standing, even through the hurt. Even after you fall over and over again, you’re the one who always get up.

I guess sometimes life has to be really difficult to really grow into the best version of ourselves that we can. To learn. To evolve.

I hope you stay open. Open to possibility. Open to feeling all of the feelings you don’t want to be feeling, because it is there you will find what you need. Healing. Peace. Freedom. Love.

I know there is someone you’re missing that you wish you could tell everything to. Everything you’re thinking and feeling, but you can’t. And I know that’s hard. And I’m proud of you for finding someone else to talk to because I know you probably don’t want to talk about it. You should talk about it. You deserve to release what is heavily weighing on your precious heart.

When it hurts, express that hurt however you need to. When it feels good, write it down somewhere so you don’t forget the goodness when you need to remember it. Life will be hard but it will also be really good.

Memories are blessings. Create them. Reminisce them.

Proud of you.
