A meaningful thought

People may expect you to be “better by now.” But grief does not follow a calendar, and it does not end on the day other people stop asking about it. You may laugh one day and feel shattered by the same memory the next. This is not failure. Healing is not a straight road, and love often continues to appear in the shape of longing. Do not judge yourself for still feeling. Let grief change form in its own time, and move as slowly as needed without proving to anyone that you are already over it.
