“I'll tell you the absolute worst thing about grief.

It's waking up in the morning, and for one split second, you forget.

Your mind is clear. And then... bam. It hits you all over again.You start realizing that no matter how many years roll by, those absences... they don't ever get smaller.

You just get a hell of a lot better at carrying the weight.
It's a heavy load.

You start missing old versions of people, of moments, and even of yourself that's just gone.

And it ain't ever gonna exist the same way again.”
