You understand what you're experiencing is not a moment in time, it's not a bone that will reset, but that you've been touched by something chronic, something incurable.

It's not fatal, but sometimes grief feels like it could be.

And if we can't prevent it in one another, what can we do?

What can we do other than try to remind one another that some things can't be fixed and not all wounds are meant to heal?

We need each other to remember, to help each other remember that grief is this multitasking emotion that you can and will be sad and happy, you'll be grieving and able to love in the same year or week, the same breath.

We need to remember that a grieving person is going to laugh again and smile again.

If they're lucky, they'll even find love again.

that yes, absolutely, they're going to move forward.

But that doesn't mean that they've moved on.

Thank you.
