After going through what I still (to this day anyway) consider the worst thing that ever happened to me, I’ve started to see people differently. Not because I’m trying to judge them, but because grief has a way of removing all the filters.
I just don’t have the energy to pretend anymore or have the patience for relationships that were already hanging on by a thread.
Before my loss, I worked really hard to keep certain relationships together. And I overlooked a lot of things. I made excuses and told myself, “That’s just how they are.” And maybe it was. But after my loss, I don't have the energy anymore.
And it’s not coming from anger. At least not most of the time. It’s coming from exhaustion. Emotional survival narrowed my world down to what actually matters. And what matters are the people who show up unconditionally.
Here’s the thing…grief has a way of revealing that.
It reveals the friends who disappear because they don’t know what to say and never find their way back. And sometimes it even reveals the family members who you thought would be there no matter what but somehow aren’t in the way you needed them to be.
And that realization can really hurt.
It’s not just about losing my person anymore. It’s about losing the version of certain relationships I thought I had. The belief that some of the connections were stronger than they actually were.
But the other side of that is that grief also made it incredibly clear who was there, and those people became everything to me.
And somewhere along the way, without even making a conscious decision, I started to care a lot less about holding onto the relationships that didn’t feel that way.
Because when I survived the worst thing that could happen to me, my tolerance for anything that felt forced was pretty low. I didn’t want a lot of people in my life anymore, just the people that really mattered.
I guess grief simplified that for me. It cleared out a lot of the people I really didn’t need in my life.
I remember realizing at one point that I could probably count on one hand the number of people I truly felt safe with. And on some days, I didn’t even need all five fingers.
And oddly enough…there was something comforting about that.
