Two things in life change you forever. Love and grief. ❤️
I don't think we ever truly understand how much someone can become a part of us until we have to learn to live without them.
It's the little things that hurt the most, isn't it?
The moments you go to pick up the phone to tell them something, before remembering you can't.
Hearing a song and suddenly being taken straight back to a moment you shared.
Or having a perfectly ordinary day, when out of nowhere, you would give absolutely anything just to hear their voice one more time.
I think one of the hardest parts of grief is that life keeps moving. The world carries on, people go about their days, and somehow you're expected to find your way through a life that feels so different without them in it.
And I don't think we talk enough about how much that changes a person.
You can be happy, laugh, make new memories and genuinely love the life you're living, while still carrying a sadness for someone you wish was here to share it with you.
Both can exist together.
Something I've come to understand through my own experiences with loss, and through sitting with so many beautiful people during their mediumship readings, is that grief isn't always about struggling to let go. Sometimes it's simply about how much we still want someone to be here.
To tell them what's happened.
To ask their advice.
To see their reaction.
To have one more ordinary day together, doing absolutely nothing special.
Because it's often those ordinary moments we miss the most.
And perhaps that's the part of love we don't realise when we're living it. One day, the smallest things can become the memories we hold onto the tightest.
I often say to my clients that the relationship we have with someone doesn't have to stop being meaningful just because their physical life has ended.
We still carry their words, their humour, their mannerisms, their love and all the little ways they helped shape who we've become.
And for those who find comfort in feeling their loved ones close in spirit, sometimes it's those quiet, unexpected moments that mean the most. ❤️
I don't believe grief is something we need to get over. I think, with time, we just learn how to carry our love differently.
And if you're missing someone today, I hope you give yourself permission to miss them, to speak about them, to laugh at the memories and to cry when you need to.
Because the saddest part of losing someone isn't always remembering that they're gone. Sometimes it's remembering just how wonderful it was when they were here.
Sending so much love to anyone who felt this today. ❤️
