Grief is a tricky situation to navigate, especially grieving a child loss. Grief has stages just like the waves of the ocean. I’m grateful it allows us to come up for air sometimes. When it does it feels like breathing for the first time in a long time. I love those moments. It’s like coming up for air, taking a deep breath, and letting out a huge sigh of relief.
I’m in love with those moments of joy. When the deep gives way to sunshine once again it’s not a time of forgetting our loved one. It’s a moment to remember the gift of life, the sound of our heartbeat and the preciousness of life. Today I had one of those moments. Today I could smile. For just a heartbeat in time I got to just “be”. Believe me, it’s a blessing. If I could capture the moment into the palm of my hand and save them all together, I would. Some processes of healing are meant to take time and there is no rushing them. If I could take a shortcut I would. There is no time frame on missing a loved one.
. It’s our love we long to give. The longing gets intense. So, like many, I wait. I wait for those moments when the clouds part and joy shines through. They happen for me more often than they used to. I’m grateful for that. I’m grateful for joy.
Loving you from here,
