Today
💜🧡💛
I am retreating into my grief
I am not giving up
I just can’t hide my grief today
I am not weak
I just can’t be brave today
I am not falling apart
I am just more broken today
I am not letting go
I am holding on
Today I am grieving
-Louise Rees
It is 100% okay to sit with our grief instead of pushing it down. It’s not a sign of weakness or defeat, but a recognition that we can’t be strong or brave all the time. It's not that we are falling apart, but instead we are allowing ourselves to feel the weight of our brokenness more intensely. This isn’t about letting go; it’s about holding on, even when it’s painful. It is so important we give ourselves the time and permission to fully feel our grief, knowing that it’s okay to have days where our sorrow takes its rightful place ... above all else.
