Jim Carrey once said: Grief is not just an emotion—it’s an unraveling, a space where something once lived but is now gone. It carves through you, leaving a hollow ache where love once resided. In the beginning, it feels unbearable, like a wound that will never close. But over time, the raw edges begin to mend. The pain softens, but the imprint remains—a quiet reminder of what once was. The truth is, you never truly "move on." You move with it. The love you had does not disappear; it transforms. It lingers in the echoes of laughter, in the warmth of old memories, in the silent moments where you still reach for what is no longer there. And that’s okay. Grief is not a burden to be hidden. It is not a weakness to be ashamed of. It is the deepest proof that love existed, that something beautiful once touched your life. So let yourself feel it. Let yourself mourn. Let yourself remember. There is no timeline, no “right” way to grieve. Some days will be heavy, and some will feel lighter. Some moments will bring unexpected waves of sadness, while others will fill you with gratitude for the love you were lucky enough to experience. Honor your grief, for it is sacred. It is a testament to the depth of your heart. And in time, through the pain, you will find healing—not because you have forgotten, but because you have learned how to carry both love and loss together. - What advice would you offer to someone struggling to accept that grief has no set timeline?

A LOVE LETTER FROM THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED ON… Take the LOVE you have for me And radiate it outwards Allowing it to touch and impact others. Take the MEMORY you have of me And use it as a source of inspiration To live fully, meaningfully and intentionally. Take the IMAGE you have of me in your mind And allow it to fuel you To take action Seize the day And be reminded of what is most important in life. Take the CARE you have for me And let it remind you To care for yourself fully And shower yourself with your own love. And take the pain and GRIEF you feel Following my loss And alchemize it into Love, compassion and beauty Build a castle From the wreckage of my passing And allow it to unlock your greatness and potential And empower you to become more than you ever thought you were capable of being. And know that I can never truly leave you And will always remain beside you Watching over you in spirit. And that the LOVE I have for you lives on Through the connections you form The kindness and compassion you share And the future relationships and friendships you cultivate. And until we are one day reunited I will remain with you Through the storms and chaos of life And am always beside you Walking with you, laughing with you, crying with you and smiling with you. And I am proud of you for being strong I am proud of you for being brave And I am proud of you for being you. - Tahlia Hunter ♡❥ ☆˜"*❊დ❊⁀˚✲.‿✲☆˜"*❊დ❊ Art by: Ungsuk Lee, South Korean - Artist and Illustrator ♡❥ (fb)
