I saw this quote again one I’ve read so many times—but this time, it landed differently. “Don’t chase people. Be yourself, do your own thing and work hard. The right people the ones who really belong in your life will come to you. And stay.” This has been one of the hardest, but most powerful lessons I’ve learned in the last 17 months without my Aunt Robbie. Grief has a way of making things really clear. You stop chasing not because you don’t care, but because you can’t force connection where it doesn’t meet you anymore. Every soul you meet is here to either teach you, heal you, or love you… and if you’re lucky, you’ll find the ones who do all three. So find the people who truly see your magic and lean into them. They’ll be the ones who sit with you in it… and help carry you through the days you’re not sure you can keep going.

Hello Everyone. I was unsure if I was going to even post this but I have two things I want to share, one is a question, and I could really use your input. My grandmother Delores passed 7/5/24, I have not attend a funeral for anyone since then but just this past week I found out a very close family friend who my grandmother actually knew passed away and their funeral is in two days(Saturday). I’m not sure but I am really nervous, because something inside is causing me to have flashbacks of the grandmothers funeral and I’ve had actually a bit of anxiety over it. Any tips? Lastly, this is just something I wanted to share. A month or so after my grandmother has passed away, I chose to write a letter to her about how I was feeling as it was easier to put it on paper due to all the emotions going through me. She was laid to rest on top of a mountain with my grandfather(beautiful spot) and I had brought a stone crescent moon and underneath I placed that letter as a comfort thing for me or a way of feeling closer to her. Over the several months unfortunately the crescent moon crumbled but it was dug into the ground far enough..and when I went just today(which I visit frequently) something told me to grab the letter from underneath, but it was gone. Nobody knew it was there and wouldn’t be able to see it. Part of me say’s is it God telling me something and she at peace, but the other part of me can’t stop thinking about it and a knot in my stomach from it..maybe it’s a sign? I posted a picture of when we placed the moon and from today, thanks for letting me share.
