Grief is having to leave people you loved so much behind.
Grief is letting go of the you, you once were.
Grief is realizing the things that comforted you were the reasons you weren’t growing.
Grief is having to let go of your sister’s ashes because they became an alter and idol.
Grief is having to let God in completely even when it hurts to think about.
Grief is realizing you were r*ped and never was able to cry about it because you thought it was your fault.
Grief is strange, it hurts, it’s hard, it’s sad, it’s ugly.
But where there’s grief comes great joy from the Lord.
