Grief is a lonely journey. Others will offer you compassion. Others will offer a shoulder and hand. Many will say kind words. Many will send condolence notes that are touching. It is lovely and comforting to have well-meaning people around you.
However, no one else can truly mourn with you. It is your own journey. And, it’s a rollercoaster. Grief hits at random moments. And, even when others are around, that moment where grief hits you, loneliness envelops you.
It’s ok.

I’ve been on that journey, and it’s definitely not an easy one.

You’re absolutely right. Grief can take a long time for some and not for others. Like you said, it’s a journey.

Sometimes it’s a song in the radio, or a smell in the air and usually when you least expect it…

I still sometimes think of picking up the phone to call Daddy in Mexico City, and talk about his cooling towers. Or ask Mother’s advice and just gab.
Gentle hugs your way.
