Grief doesn't always look like tears.
Sometimes it looks like showing up to work and carrying on like nothing happened.
It can look like smiling through a conversation while your chest feels hollow. Being “the strong one” for everyone else, then getting home and finally letting yourself fall apart when you're alone.
I've sat with people carrying grief quietly the kind of grief that the people around them may never even realize is there.
If you're going through this right now, in whatever form it takes for you, you're not doing it wrong. There isn't one way grief is supposed to look.
What's something about grief you wish more people understood?
I'll be reading your comments today. 🤍
