Grief isn’t something to get over; it’s something we learn to live with, like learning to breathe differently at a new altitude.
"Grief comes in waves"
It reminds me that we don’t need to build walls to block the tide.
We need boats that help us float through it. For some that’s therapy, for others it’s walking, writing, faith, or finding beauty in small, ordinary things.
This is very visual for me (like a movie scene) and meaningful, Neela: "Grief isn’t something to get over; it’s something we learn to live with, like learning to breathe differently at a new altitude."
Yes, that's it. Breathing differently. In a place in life where that's difficult.
And this is beautiful: "It reminds me that we don’t need to build walls to block the tide.
"We need boats that help us float through it."
Wow. "Boats" "float through it" Yes, that's it. Definitely it.
Thank you for your kind words. :) I knew that video and talking about it with a source (and Jock was so helpful) was a topic worth writing about.
Love this Michael.

What matters most is that we build something.
Thank you for this compassionate, grounded piece

Happy Thursday to you
Long weekends can make all the difference. Sunday nights are less stressful. No big plans here. :) Hope the rest of your week is refreshing.
