3 years without my person.
I can’t believe it’s been 3 years 😭 feel like we were just joking around yesterday. 3 years later and I still have so much anger, so much sadness, so much regret for not doing more. Never in a million years did I think at 21 I would walk in your house to find my bestfriend, my person unresponsive 😭that’s an image that never leaves you. I’ve had 2 babies without you, got engaged, moved out of my moms, all without you by my side. You’d be so proud of me and my babies. I talk to Jensen about you all the time. I promise they will know who aunt Bri was and they will carry your name and stories on long when I’m gone. No one will ever take your place, that’ll forever be a whole in my life. There’s so much you’re missing, so many big life changes we have to go thru without you. I still have break downs in the bathroom from time to time just because I miss you so much 😭 they lied, time dosent heal all wounds. It still hurts like hell but we are keeping it pushing down here for you🫶 we love you Bri! Till we meet again angel 💓 #missthem🙁 #missingthem #grief
Losing someone close is one of life's most profound challenges. Grief can often feel overwhelming, and three years can feel like both a blink of an eye and an eternity. During this time, individuals may experience a rollercoaster of emotions—sadness, anger, nostalgia, and even moments of joy when remembering their loved ones. It's important to acknowledge that everyone grieves differently, and it's normal to have ups and downs throughout the healing process. Sharing memories with family and friends can be a therapeutic way to keep the spirit of the lost loved one alive. Engaging with support groups or counseling can also provide comfort and camaraderie, reminding us that we’re not alone in our journey. In addition to emotional support, creating lasting tributes such as photos, memory boxes, or even social media posts can help honor their memory and make it feel like they’re still part of our lives. As time progresses, learning to celebrate the life of the departed while moving forward is a delicate balance. It entails marrying the joy of fond memories with the pain of absence. Activities such as planting a tree or holding a memorial event on anniversaries can create meaningful ways to celebrate life while acknowledging loss. Remember that it’s okay to seek help during this journey; many mental health resources are available to assist those navigating the complex emotions that come with grief. Ultimately, while the pain may not disappear, it often transforms into a different kind of love that encourages us to carry on their legacy with pride.
