For the one who's grieving,
There's nothing I can say or do to bring your person back.
I know it hurts.
I know you're trying to find the strength to keep moving forward without them being by your side.
I know you may be trying to push away the grief,
But maybe,
Just for a moment,
You let it in.
Allow yourself to feel the pain of the loss,
But more importantly,
Allow yourself to remember the beauty of the memories.
All the times when they put the biggest smile on your face,
All the times they annoyed you and drove you crazy,
All of the times you felt their love,
Feel it now.
Those memories can and will always live in your heart.
Matthew chapter 5 verse 4 says,
Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.
So friend,
I hope you feel God's love surrounding you in this moment.
For the one who's grieving,
Know that it's okay to feel.
Know that it's okay to cry.
Know that it's okay to take things one breath at a time.
