Grief is a funny thing. In that there’s no one way or right way to grieve someone passing. It’s not a straight line, it’s scattered all over the place, sometimes it’s difficult to pick up the pieces to begin the process of understanding the depth that was left behind. If the person was in pain, you’re happy they’re at peace. If the person was wronged, you’re left shocked and angered by their exit. Emotions are felt at peak levels during these times. Knowing someone has impacted you so deeply is the beauty and tragedy when they pass cause all you want and hope is for them to know how much they were loved when they were alive. Sometimes we lose sight of our journeys we can fail to see the ways in which we impact others. Sometimes it takes hearing a song which sparks a memory and tears to form can we see the pieces left behind clearly. The ways we change each other in this life have significance, it’s the most beautiful mysteries of life, the connections we form that define who we are. We know people for a finite amount of time here on earth, appreciate them while they’re here.
