Grief is not about forgetting or “moving on”, but about recognising the love and loss that shape us. Where there is deep grief, there was great love. We don’t judge it, suppress it, or rush it. Instead, we acknowledge the grief, attend to the pain, and navigate the emotions that come with it. By doing so, we find ways to integrate the loss and reemerge into a life that is more self-aware and meaningful.

Grief doesn’t get smaller over time. We have to grow bigger.
