may be a thing we all have in common but it looks different on
everyone. It isn’t just death we have to grieve.
It’s life, it’s loss, it’s change. And when
we wonder why it has to suck so much sometimes, it has to hurt
so bad. The thing we gotta try to remember is that it can turn
on a dime. That’s how you stay alive when it hurts so
much you can’t breathe. That’s how you survive. By
remembering that one day somehow, impossibly, it won’t
feel this way. It wont hurt this much. Grief comes in
it’s own time for everyone in it’s own way. So the
best we can do, the best anyone can do, is try for honesty. The
really crappy thing, the very worst part of grief is that you
can’t control it. The best we can do is try to let
ourselves feel it when it comes and let it go when we can. The
very worst part is that the minute you think you’re past
it, it starts all over again and always, every time, it takes
your breath away. There are five stages of grief. They look
different on all of us but there is always five. Denial, anger,
bargaining, depression,
acceptance.
