Grief Post of the Week

There is a misconception in the grief world that "loss happens once".

*Every time you wake up and think your loved one is there and reality hits that they are not....loss happens.

*Every time you think about the "What Ifs"...loss happens.

*Every time you go to a family gathering and there is an empty chair...loss happens.

*Every time you create a new memory and you realize that your passed loved one won't be there to create it with you...loss happens.

*Every time you look at your family lineage knowing that their branch of the family tree will never grow any bigger...loss happens.

*Every time you see others happy with their WHOLE family...loss happens.

I could go on and on. Grief is hard because we have to navigate the constant reminders of our loss whether those reminders are intentional or not. Sure....the INITIAL LOSS only happens once, but let's not disregard the other losses that will be with us for the entirety of our grief journey.
