Grief may be a thing we all have in common, but it looks different on everyone. It isnt just death we have to grieve. Its life, loss, change & when we wonder why it has to suck so much, has to hurt so bad, the thing we have to try to remember is that it can turn on a dime. Thats how you stay alive : when it hurts so much you cant breathe, thats how you survive. By remembering that one day, somehow, impossibly, you wont feel this way. It wont hurt this much. Grief comes in its own time for everyone, in its own way, so the best thing that we can do is try for honesty. The really crappy thing, the very worst part of grief is that you cant control it. The best we can do is try to let ourselves feel it when it comes & let it go when we can. The worst part is that the minute you think youre past it, it starts all over again & always, every time, it takes your breath away. There are five stages of grief. They all look different on all of us, but there are always five. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression & Acceptance. We go into denial because the loss is so unthinkable, we cant imagine its true. We become angry with everyone, angry with ourselves. Then we bargain, we beg, we plead. We offer everything we have, we offer our souls in exchange for just one more day. When the bargaining has failed & the anger is too hard to maintain, we fall into depression, despair, until we finally have to accept that weve done everything we can. We let go. We let go & move into acceptance, THIS IS WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW. So much has changed me in this past year, I thank everyone who contributed to my well being,I love you all!!!!!..Brooklyn would be so proud of me
