Grief is timeless. Grief is deep. Grief is mysterious.
Grief is painful. Grief is scary. Grief is messy.
Grief will be sticky. Grief will feel stuck.
Grief keeps on taking and giving.
Grief works us in ways we haven’t planned.
Grief can make us grow and expand.
Grief can feel lonely. Yet Grief connects us with common humanity.

Grieving is part of being human.

Grief is arduous work.

You do not need to do it alone or start from scratch.
