💔🕊️ Grief Is Love With Nowhere to Go 🕊️💔

Before yesterday, grief was something I understood.

Now it’s something I’m living.

On June 19, 2026, I lost my dad.

And if you’ve ever lost someone you love, you know that grief isn’t just sadness.

It’s reaching for the phone before remembering they’re gone.

It’s wanting one more conversation.

One more hug.

One more “I love you.”

It’s carrying so much love in your heart and not knowing where to put it.

That’s why I love that the Bible doesn’t hide grief.

📖 “Jesus wept.” — John 11:35

Even Jesus cried.

Even Jesus grieved.

Even Jesus felt the pain of losing someone He loved.

That reminds me that my tears aren’t a lack of faith.

They’re evidence of love. 🤍

📖 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18

Right now, I don’t have all the answers.

I don’t know how long this ache will last.

But I know God is near.

So if you’re grieving today, whether it’s a parent, a spouse, a child, a friend, or someone you miss deeply…

🤍 Your tears matter.

🤍 Your grief matters.

🤍 Your love matters.

And most importantly…

🕊️ God is still holding you, even when your heart feels shattered.

Dad, I miss you more than words can say.

Until we meet again. 💗🌷

When grief feels too heavy to carry, the most healing thing we can do is move with it — not away from it. 🌿 Grief can freeze the body, trapping emotions in the chest, heart, and hips. You might feel stuck, anxious, or weighed down — unsure how to let the pain move through you. This gentle 5-p

The Grief of Letting Go
I almost had a relapse into my old life. Nostalgia almost made me backtrack but something inside me said no it’s a trick. It’s OK to reminisce on old feelings, but it’s not OK to run back to comfort. You have to remind yourself why you can no longer be around certain spirits. You have to remind you

Living with grief isn’t just missing someone. It’s waking up every day with a piece of you missing—and still trying to smile. It’s hearing a laugh that sounds like theirs and forgetting how to breathe. It’s carrying a thousand “what ifs” and “I should’ve” in your chest like lead. It’s pretendin
