Holiday Mourning

Crying isn’t weakness.

It’s your heart releasing what words can’t hold.

If the holidays feel heavier this year, you’re not broken.

Grief doesn’t pause for celebrations, and neither do feelings.

It’s okay to be sad.

It’s okay to miss them.

It’s okay to let the tears come.

It’s okay to feel alone

Be gentle with yourself today. 🤍

I Made My Peace Ahead ❤️‍🩹
I grieved you long before the end, Not with a grave or stone But with the silence that we chose, A distance I’ve come to know. The tears I cried were not for death, But for the years we lost, For every word we didn’t say, And all it came to cost. You didn’t have to disappear To make me
