A love note to grief

Dear Grief,

In the quiet spaces of my heart, where the echoes of your presence linger, I find a profound tenderness that I didn’t expect. You arrived uninvited, yet with a softness that spoke of transformation. Though your touch is heavy and your embrace deep, you have become a companion in my journey, a guide through the shadows and light of my soul.

You’ve shown me that love doesn’t end with loss; it deepens. In your silence, I’ve discovered the beauty of vulnerability and the strength found in embracing what feels unbearable. You’ve taught me to listen to the whispers of my heart and to honor the space where sorrow and gratitude intertwine.

Thank you for the lessons you bring, even when they are wrapped in pain. Through you, I’ve learned to hold space for my own heartache, to allow it to flow and transform. You’ve illuminated the path to deeper understanding, where grief and love dance together in an intricate waltz.

As I continue to walk this path with you, I hold you gently, recognizing the depth of your gift. You remind me that to grieve is to love profoundly and to grow in ways I never imagined. With every tear and every memory, you help me see that even in endings, there are beginnings, and in the darkness, there is light.

With a heart full of gratitude,

Glenda
