I feel deep in my spirit that someone right now, needs to see these words, and most importantly they need to believe these words. I’m a big believer in listening to that inner whisper, so I’m doing it - let me know if I’m posting it for you 🩷

💔 Read this slowly.
When someone you love dies, the world doesn’t just break - you do too.
And no one warns you that some days, breathing will feel like betrayal.
That you’ll sit in the quiet and wonder how you’re meant to keep going when half your soul is missing.
But here’s the truth: choosing to live doesn’t mean you’ve stopped grieving. It means you’re honouring the love that still exists - the love that was and the love that is.
You live because they cannot.
You carry their memory into every sunrise.
You love harder because they taught you how fragile it all is.
So when that darkness whispers,
“You can’t do this”,
I want you to whisper back…
“Yes, I can. For them. For me. For the story still being written.”
Because you are not finished yet.
And neither is their love. ❤️
If you need support to help you process the grief you are carrying or if you want to learn more about loss to ensure you are a good support to a family member, friend or patient I recommend reading my books. Saying Goodbye & The Baby Loss Guide are focused on baby loss, whether that be in early or late pregnancy, at birth or in early years. Pregnancy After loss is a book to guide you through a pregnancy following loss or infertility. Beyond Goodbye is a general grief support book covering all types of bereavement (loss of a spouse, parent, sibling, friend etc). All of my books are available worldwide from all good books stores & you can also find them at your local library. Links can be found in my bio.
