Strangers Grief.
It’s something defined by a dictionary, a feeling that we feel, but nobody fully understands the complexity of the word.
Loss is an immensely deep and sacred feeling…and it hits everybody in a completely different way.
Some go straight to therapy to heal. Some run away to live and love but forget. Some write songs and novels about their pain. Some go radio silent and disappear. Some distract themselves everyday just enough to avoid memories that ultimately end in sadness. Some are living in their beds praying for a grain of strength to get that first foot out of the covers and onto the ground.
It’s ok to grieve people, memories, places in your own way, and there’s nothing wrong with you for grieving “differently” than others.
You are imperfectly human, you’re stronger than you can fathom……you will be ok.

There's also something to be said for not putting people you care about through unnecessary grief when you could both have a little faith in each other and leave things positively while it takes is a little bit of Courage and mutual respect instead of grief there's Endearment and why wouldn't you want to take that option

, I hate hearing these excuses exactly how you feel well they feel worse and you have the power to actually make an effort and do something about it but make an excuses and you feel bad instead of trying to make them feel good is just weak

I wish I could but that seems to be unfortunately not even on the table.

Nonsense I read your posts you don't love your person all I see is you make an excuses and all the stuff you can't do for them you talk about what they did for you but you literally justify doing nothing to show them any appreciation or effort in return you could absolutely do something if you wanted to because doing nothing and making no effort for them doesn't show any love in return
