Grief was the final way we had to tell our loved ones that they’d impacted our lives. That we missed them so, so much. And there was nothing wrong with me mourning my mom for the rest of mine, even as l carried her love and her life in my heart. I had to live, but I could also remember along the way.
The people we lose take a part of us with them... but they leave a part of themselves with us too.
