Love + Death 


Having someone we love taken from us is a different kind of pain. It’s more than just a heartache or break, it’s all-consuming. And grief is an unpredictable monster in and of itself. There is no right or wrong way to grieve; There is no time limit on how long one should grieve; Everyone’s journey with grief is their own, and each loss endured will be grieved differently as well.

It’s important to allow yourself to feel the things you feel; to allow your soul to grieve and process your loss as it needs. And I know this is easier said than done, but most important to forgive and love yourself… because the raw pain of losing someone you love hurts like a bitch.

Shitty day…

Ya know, I had a real shitty day.
Out of habit, I reach for the phone to call you and talk about it
That’s when I remember… Your death is the reason

Wake me…

Caught in this dream
Aching, cavernous chest
So much left undone…
So much left unsaid
Feelings raw - Complex - Real
Pinch me - Slap me - Wake me
And hold me once again…
Like you always did

Surreal…

I tried to let the words sink in, but they refused
In that moment, reality ceased
Everything after — Surreal

How could it be that I’ll never again hear your voice?
That your children will never again feel your embrace?

A full life lived, yet so much left undone —
