This book reminded me that I am not the problem nor is my grief. That this grief is something I’ll never “get through” but rather I will carry it for the rest of my life. That I do deserve support and shouldn’t take my sunshine friends who have ghosted me personally because those people aren’t equipped to handle my grief.

It all sucks but it sucks a little less knowing that what I’m experiencing is normal and there isn’t some finish line I need to rush to.

Someday the load will feel lighter… not because it is, but because I’ve gotten better at carrying it. It’s okay if that day isn’t today.
