Is it possible to turn grief into grievance? I accept that grieving has no timeline; I don’t want to shoo my grief away. In a way, it’s my grief that honors Burt.
So what am I talking about? Is it the sense that long term grief is a kind of wallowing? Yes, that is part of it.
Get over it, enough already. I don’t know if that’s a societal attitude. I am hearing that from myself. Not imminently. This moment is too soon for me to stop grieving. But I think that such a moment should come.
I know that that is not true.
Grief and sorrow, mourning and sadness seem like kith and kin of a loss. We mourn in sorrow but grieving does not mean we are perpetually sad. Grief becomes a part of our normal, natural life.
I know that that is true.
Grief turns into memories and remembrance. It is our way to honor our beloved. My grief will always continue to honor Burt, not only in sorrow but in happy memories.
this is our life
