When I first stepped into the reality of grief, I thought time would work its quiet magic. I believed that if I just kept moving forward, the pain would lessen, and eventually, I’d find myself stronger — maybe even whole again. What I didn’t understand was how much it would hurt to heal.

Grief stays because love stays. It’s a truth many come to realize in the quiet moments after loss—the days when the world keeps turning, but everything feels different. Grief doesn’t fade because love doesn’t. It lingers as a presence in the heart, as all the moments that never happened, the conversations left unsaid, the time longed for but never granted.

Grief hides in the same places love resides. This is a truth I’ve come to carry, quietly and constantly. For a long time, I believed that healing meant leaving grief behind. That if I worked hard enough, cried enough, journaled enough, or talked about it enough, it would eventually loosen its grip.
