Grief extends far past the funeral. People face grief after loss\u00a0<\/strong>daily. Because when we lose someone, the entire landscape of our life changes.\u00a0We grieve, not only the person but their place in our lives and in our hopes and dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their absence changes everything about what we see and what the future looks like<\/em>. And in a lot of ways, their absence changes what we thought we<\/em> would look like.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve found so much healing in allowing myself to acknowledge and grieve these daily losses along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I allow myself to feel the underlying sorrow in the celebratory moments because my heart aches for the one who isn\u2019t there to see it. To mourn the moments and the memories we won\u2019t get to make together that I always thought we would. I allow myself to ache and lament because a huge part of who I am and who I\u2019ve always been was expressed through that relationship. So, now I have to learn different ways to feel and carry that love forward now that they\u2019re gone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This process gives me permission: to make room to mourn the memories. I thought we\u2019d get to make, to make space to say \u201cit wasn\u2019t supposed to be this way\u201d. And to grieve the painful reality that the layout of my life has changed.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

But as I allow myself to feel the grief, I also remind myself that part of this process is allowing myself to feel the unexpected moments of hope as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I allow myself to soak in a cherished memory and find comfort there when I\u2019m ready. I search for ways to share my loved one\u2019s legacy as I look for their love. Seek their presence in my heart. Pour it out into my day in whatever way my hurting heart can manage. I allow myself to feel awed by the world and to be surprised by joy\u2019s ability to still find me. To feel the rays of a hard-fought hopefulness on the horizon. I allow my heart to be a home for love despite its unexpected visitor, grief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a hard and messy journey. It requires a lot of reflection and an honoring of the tension that comes with living with love and loss intertwined in one aching heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But grief has changed me. It has made me more aware of the fleeting and fragile beauty around me. Grief has filled me with a profound urgency to feel and appreciate the love I\u2019ve been given. It has challenged me to honor the love of those I\u2019ve lost, while also acknowledging the way their love can still be found each day.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I truly believe that when we lose someone, their love still remains steadily underneath the grief of it all. Their love plays a role in our hopes and dreams and futures. Soft and steady. Persisting. Continuing. Still there. Still there..<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

And we take that love with us into each new day in whatever way we can. And we bring them with us. We know in our hearts that their love plays just as big of a role now as it did before. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
