🇺🇸💙 Grief & Gratitude Can Exist Together
One thing I have learned since losing my dad is that grief doesn't disappear just because it's a holiday.
You can be sitting at a cookout…
laughing with family…
watching your kids make memories…
and still feel that little ache because someone important is missing.
The empty chair.
The tradition that feels different.
The person who should be standing beside you.
For a while I thought feeling joy meant I was somehow leaving my grief behind.
But I'm learning that two things can be true:
I can miss my dad deeply.
AND
I can still be grateful for the moments happening right in front of me.
Love doesn't end.
We just learn to carry it into new memories. đź’™
If today feels a little bittersweet, you're not alone.
