Nobody prepares you for year one. 🤍
The fog makes it hard to remember what day it is. The firsts: the first birthday, first holiday, first empty side of the bed. The mountains of paperwork that show up when you’re least ready to handle them.
If you’re in it right now, hear this: you are not grieving wrong. You are not behind.
You are just in it. And being in it - surviving it, one day at a time, is exactly where you’re supposed to be.
If you’re in your first year, tell us what’s been the hardest part so far. This community sees you. 💚
