Relief from Grief

Most of grief happens in places no one else sees.

It’s in the quiet moments.

The way you reach for your phone to text them…and remember.
The way certain times of day feel heavier than others.
The way the house sounds different now.

It’s crying where no one can hear you.
Or not crying at all…and wondering why.

It’s carrying conversations in your head.
Remembering small details that no one else would understand.

From the outside, it might look like you’re holding it together.
Inside…it can feel like everything has changed.
