Grieving My Grandmother, Mae

I never knew grieving didn’t have a pause button. Every now and again, I find myself really thinking about my grandmother. I’ll never forget the smell of her house 😩😩😩🥴 it really smelled like a true grandmother. ( i don’t know how to explain it, Ifykyk)! I’ll never forget how when she would feed me and my sister and then five minutes later, she’d ask “you hungry”? I’d look at her like “grandma, I just ate five minutes ago”.

I miss that lady so much and I truly wish I did make it my business to see her when I did. 🥺🥺🥺 FOREVER MAE ✨🥹 next month will be the anniversary of her death. This’ll be the first year of her being gone. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Forever Mae
Grief came back to me the way a bad scent does—sudden, sour, impossible to ignore. Like dirty laundry left too long in a closed room. I had already made plans to see my grandmother. I remember thinking I still had time. Then the phone rang, and just like that, time disappeared. I didn’t know wha

Grieving the loss of someone who’s still alive
Losing someone important to you due to their own choices can be one of the most difficult experiences any human could endure. The sheer part of letting go is the hardest. Why would you let go of someone that’s still there? Doesn’t that show YOU’VE given up? Or maybe you agree to the choice as well?

To my grieving warriors
Some nights are heavier than others. The kind of nights where the memories are loud, the silence feels different, and healing doesn’t feel as easy as people think it should. But even in grief, you’re still growing. You’re still healing.You’re still becoming. So if tonight feels hard for you

If you’re grieving or anxious try this with me.
Approaching the one year anniversary of my boyfriend’s passing has definitely been bringing up some waves of anxiety making it hard to breathe or feel safe sometimes. Tapping on the chest, long deep breathing, vocal and exhale sighs and repeating these affirmations helps bring the body back to calm

Grieving sucks, these things helped 🫶
I lost my father to a heart attack when I was 18 years old. There’s no other way to put it other than it sucks and I’ll always wish things were different! Nothing prepares you to lose a parent at such a young age - I’ve navigated through the many stages of grief over the last 8 years and these tips

And it’s weird, because this is only true for relatives or people that actually knew my parents. And I think it’s because they can remember things that I don’t or at least that’s part of it. Because I lost my mom when I was 12 so that already came with a lot and then my dad passed away in 2023, lit

You’re not crazy. You’re grieving.
This grief does not mean you are weak. When you lose a partner, spouse, or soulmate, your entire nervous system shifts. The tight chest. The brain fog. The waves of panic. The exhaustion. That is not weakness. That is a body trying to recalibrate after love has been torn from its daily rhythm

You think you’re ANGRY. But you’re grieving 🤔
Underneath anger… there’s always grief. And no one ever taught you how to tell the difference. You weren’t “too emotional.” You were grieving. And no one noticed. They said you had “anger issues.” But no one ever asked what your rage was protecting. No one ever saw the child in the fire.
