When Something Was Taken That Cannot Be Replaced
Grief & Loss
The seasons that took something from you that nobody can replace.
Grief is love with nowhere to land. When you lose a person, a relationship, a season, a dream, an identity, the love does not disappear. It just has to learn how to live without the place it used to live in. That takes time. That takes tears. That takes tenderness.
There is no proper timeline for your grief. There is no correct face for your grief. There is no spiritual shortcut that skips the valley. Anyone who tries to rush you through it does not understand what you have actually lost.
What I will tell you is this. You are allowed to cry on a Tuesday for something that happened years ago. You are allowed to laugh at a memory and then weep two minutes later. You are allowed to be a faithful believer and a heartbroken human at the same time.
God is not far from you in your grief. He is closest in it. Let yourself be held. Let yourself be honest. And little by little, the place that hurt will become a place that holds meaning, not just pain.
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
, Psalm 34:18
My grief is the size of my love, and both are sacred.
