Grief Doesn’t Follow the Seasons
When the season shifts, grief can feel different, but it doesn’t disappear. As we begin to move into spring, the days grow a little longer and the sun is out more, there’s often an unspoken expectation that we should feel a sense of renewal… a lightness.
But grief doesn’t follow the seasons.
You can feel the warmth of spring and still carry deep sadness.
You can be moving forward in your life and still feel the weight of what you’ve lost.
Both can exist at the same time.
Grief isn’t something we “leave behind.”
It’s something we learn to gently and slowly carry as we continue living.
A Gentle Reminder
Moving forward doesn’t mean moving on.
It doesn’t mean forgetting.
It doesn’t mean the love is any less.
It means finding ways to:
💜 Carry their memory with you
💜 Make space for both joy and sadness
💜 Begin to rebuild parts of your life, at your own pace
There is no timeline.
There is no right way.
Only your way.
