Grief is a storm you didn’t see coming.

One minute, the sky is clear.

The next, the wind knocks you to your knees, howling through the quiet places of your life, ripping apart the plans you made, the way you thought your days would look.

You can’t control it.
You can’t outrun it.
You can’t reason with it.

Sometimes, it’s a drizzle you can live with.
Other times, it’s a downpour so heavy it leaves you soaked and shaking, breaking apart the pieces of who you used to be.

It floods your mind at night.
It rumbles in your chest.
It strikes when you’re not expecting it.

And people will tell you to dance in the rain, but they don’t know what it’s like to be drowning in it.

This is the storm of grief.

Unpredictable.
Merciless.
Lonely.

And somehow, you’re still here, loving them through every drop that falls.

HISTORY OF BEREAVED PARENTS AWARENESS MONTH

Bereaved Parents Awareness Month is observed every year around the world in July. For a lot of people, it can be difficult to talk openly about their grief; many of them feel that it is too personal or too private. Even though talking about the events that caused their grief is crucial to recovery, people are hesitant in talking about it. It is a universally accepted fact that parents should not have to bury their children. The pain is immeasurable and parents carry this grief with them throughout their lives. But even in these darkest of times, it is important to remember that you are not alone. Whenever you look for help, you will always find communities of people, parents, and others who will be there for you and support you. It’s for this reason that we observe Bereaved Parents Awareness Month.

It exists to provide support to parents who have lost their children, but its other aim is to raise awareness about how many parents have suffered the loss of a child. Not only does it enable bereaved parents to find resources and support to overcome their grief, but it also seeks to provide information to others, including family, friends, and relatives, on how they can help parents overcome their loss. Social support becomes more important than ever during times of grief. Even if you feel uncomfortable at first or are unsure of how to console a bereaved parent, try to at least be there for them. Even something as simple as being a good listener can be extremely comforting.

Grief is.

Brutal.
It’s waking up every day to the same reality you still can’t believe is true.
They’re gone.
And no matter how many times you remind yourself, it still doesn’t make sense.

It’s the kind of pain that doesn’t scream—it just sits in your chest, day after day.
Heavy. Constant.
It changes how you breathe.
How you move.
How you see the world.

Grief is being tired but not able to sleep.
Awake, but not really living.
It’s dragging yourself through the day pretending you’re okay—because what else are you supposed to do?

It’s crying in the car.
Cancelling plans you don’t have the energy for.
Forgetting what you were saying mid-sentence.
It’s not just sadness. It’s mental chaos. Emotional exhaustion. Physical weight.

Grief is lonely.
Even when people check in, even when you're surrounded.
Because none of it brings your person back.
And no one else truly gets what it feels like to live without them.

It’s missing them in a way that takes your breath away.
It’s hearing their laugh in your head and breaking all over again.
It’s the constant loop in your mind—how is this real? How is this my life now?

Grief is love that has nowhere to go.
It’s holding on and letting go at the same time.
It’s surviving what you never thought you could.

And no, it doesn’t get “better.”
You just learn how to carry it.
Even on the days it feels too heavy to hold.

There is no greater love than a parent for their child. There is no deeper grief than a parent has over the loss of their child. Love and grief are inseparable.
